5 Things About Me That Affect My Health:
1. I do not handle stress well. (i.e. I use food to calm me down and make me feel good.)
2. If I do not have a plan for every meal, I will not make good spontaneous decisions.
3. If I mess up early in the week, I will most likely bollox up everything else until the new week starts.
4. I celebrate with food.
5. I rely on others to help me make good decisions, and if I am not blogging or talking to those close to me about decisions concerning my health, I am digging myself into a pit of mistakes.
Let's sum it up:
Stress - Plan - Candid Support --> Stress^2 + Bad Decisions = a 1.8 lb gain + a whole lotta regret + Jabba the Hut-like grodiness.
I'm slowly beginning to realize that I can't treat this as a race, a marathon, or even a competition against myself. I'm in this for my health, for my life, for my happiness. (And I am beyond sick of seeing giant 200's on the scale. Why did I buy a scale with such a large display?)

One day at a time...that's the way.
Your feed is finally working again so I'm getting your posts. For a long time I haven't been for some reason.
Keep up the great work...I know it's tough but soon, SOON you'll be in onederland again.
Oh...I know that feeling so well! I'm sorry, I know it sucks, but it will get better, but only when you stop beating yourself up! You CAN do this! =)
You've scoped out the problem areas and now you are ready to conquer them. I have no doubt that you can get back on track. Soon the big numbers on the scale will be a joyous sight.
