It's so easy to gain weight. Trust me...I know. I was a skinny kid growing up. Always outside running around and playing, riding my bike to far and way places, roller blading down scary hills.. Never once did my parents have to worry about what I was eating, if I was eating too much, if I was getting enough veggies in my diet... I was just a typical healthy kid.

In high school I wasn't one of the skinniest girls. Flat stomach in all, but I was fat either. Every summer I would get too skinny from band camp (Oh yeah...total band nerd. haha) and then slowly get back to "normal". I was 8-9 in high school and I thought I was SO fat. Argh....how misinformed was I?

But as I got older and gained more responsibility and no longer had the buffer of mom and dad to make sure I ate right...I did start gaining weight. Add to that working late, moving up the ladder with promotions and just eating whatever was close by....I got too heavy.

Oh and yeah....awful time consuming, draining and unhealthy relationships also added to my waist line.

But I'm making a point to change. This is the year I get back to the right weight, the healthy weight. I'm not huge by no means...just severely unhealthy.

I'm not doing any fad diets...no "all the soup I want, only white foods or a shake for breakfast and lunch and a sensible dinner" for me! I don't deny myself my favorite treat which is ice cream. If i deny myself that, then I'll go crazy and just grab the closest ice cream delight to me. It's just better for us all if I have some low cal/fat free Ben and Jerry's yogurt near by. ;o)

I've lost a lot of weight so far. I see it on the scale but not when I look at myself. Part of the problem is that I've been at my new weight for about a month now. I've plateaued...and I'm not happy.

But still...I haven't GAINED any either. How's that for half-empty/half-full, eh?

But that changes now. I'm changing up my workout I'm going to keep track of what I eat (because when I do, I loose) and I'm going to try to stay stress free.... I can only do what I can, right? Besides, it's my winning personality that gets the boys!

Wait...did I just call myself ugly too? Oh shit...
