Didn't expect this to happen right now...
I have not been on track for a couple weeks. Thankfully, I have not really gained anything back. Granted, I got down to 201 and I am now holding steady at 204 again, but nutrition-wise, I'm not doing a very good job. I hadn't been to the gym until Monday since before the New Year started.
I've been really sad and lonely, and I noticed that I'm getting back into emotional eating. The reasons I started emotional eating and doing other less healthful things don't need to be reviewed here, but feeling like this again makes it clear to me that it's not just about food. It's not about being a glutton or just inherently fat and lazy. That's one thing I need to get through my head.
The momentary rush I get when I eat things that aren't nutritionally good for me makes me feel better for a second and then I need a lot of seconds, literally and figuratively.
To you who are following, thanks for being there for me. I'm nervous but I know I need to get back on plan because I will feel better physically and emotionally and mentally. I know I get a better rush when I work out, but with the busy schedule I have this month, working out is not nearly as easy as stuffing my face :(
Here's to getting through each day, moment by moment, and getting done with January so that February can be back to being devoted to me.

2011
Well, I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions. I believe in daily resolutions. Committing myself every day to me.
Taking care of myself will be my number 1 priority this year. Maintaining and strengthening good relationships, jettisoning people who I don't need in my life, and continuing to be a positive and happy person are my goals for this year.
I made it through the holidays without gaining a mess of weight back (only about 2lbs of water weight) and that, in and of itself, is one of the biggest accomplishments, because I'm holding steady at 20lbs lost - THE HEALTHY WAY - over the holidays. I'm starting January off with the goal of being under 200lbs by the end of the month. When that happens, I think I will re-dye my hair or something. And the way things have been going, I'll probably cry too haha.
Thanks for all the support, everyone. All of you who are sneakily reading my blog and not telling me should shoot me an email or something so I know you're there. The more readers and feedback I get, the more likely I am to post. You all help me stay accountable and motivated.
Love and Happy New Year to you all.
