It's that time of year again

Christmas is over, and the season of indulgence is over with it. And who's packed the pounds back on this holiday season? This girl right here. *sigh* Last year my New Year's resolution was to lose 40 lbs. I lost at least 40 pounds...maybe even closer to 60...unfortunately it was the same 10-20 lbs over and over. Gain 10, lose 15, gain 10, lose 10, gain 15, etc. My weight is a constant struggle for me. I have major issues with food, extreme and often unhealthy dieting, distorted body image. My goal this year was to get down to 160 lbs, and the lowest I got was 174. Unfortunately right now, I'm quite a lot higher than that. Boo. So I'm trying something a little different right now. No extreme yo-yo dieting at the moment. Just having a positive attitude, healthy eating , and increased activity. I've written lots of encouraging reminders on our big white board in the kitchen, and John is being very supportive, as always. I'm also not giving myself a goal weight, or resolving to lose so many pounds per week or anything like that. Just being healthier. So we'll see how that goes.
