Well, here I am. Finally starting to listen to that nagging voice from within telling me "get healthy again". I was on track and doing really really well until the holidays. That apparently sent me over the edge. Then i ended the holidays with my grandmother dying in our house. Crazy. She died of natural causes but the stress of dealing with it did nothing for my waist line. Although, it did rekindle a love affair with my old friend chocolate.

So the realization hit me that i am going to be a brides maid in May. My girlfriend wants to go try on her bridal dress, my brides maid dresses this weekend. YIKES. That gave me courage to face the dreaded scale. I had been avoiding the scale since just after thanksgiving. Well, it was about as bad as i figured....gained back 15 pounds that I had lost.

I am in the process of getting in the right mind set to get back into exercising again. Apparently it is a process with me. But anyway. I just wanted to officially drop a note on this site, so i can sort of convince myself, that i have infact thrown my hat back in the ring to get healthy and take charge of my eating again. You know that struggle, where you know what you want to do, it is just making yourself actually do it...unfortunately, it has to come from within.

I have redone my tickers, which was a big step in the right direction. So little by little i will get there. At least i stopped and got back with the program before i gained ALL of my weight back.

So here it is. Wish me luck and perserverance.

Hi Stacy,

I've wondered where you were (missing you from the 1 lb and more thread). Come back and let us know how you are. I'm glad to see you're back on the board, although I'm so sorry to hear of your grandmother's death. Take care!
