Hi everyone...I'm officially back.  Haven't been active on the board for a little over a month now.  And boy do I feel it.  I got kinda burnt out on thinking about food, what I should be eating, cooking etc so I thought I could just get by on my own without really thinking about all of it for a while.  Well, it's not working for me.  Luckily my weight hasn't really been affected too badly, I'm still hanging out around 152 (my lowest was 148 there for a while), but without excercise either I'm definately feeling flabby as well as unhealthy.  Today's M&M binge (last week it was Peanut Butter Cups, it was ugly) is what made me realize that I need support and need to really get myself back on track.  I'm really not happy with how I am feeling.  I've got to get the binging and mindless eating in control again.  And I have to get back in the gym.


Tomorrow I am getting my wisdom teeth out (rescheduled from back in December) and I am PROMISING to get back on track early next week.  I know I probably won't be able to eat everything for a while, but I am making a red lentil soup right now (that smells delicious) to get me through the weekend.


Anyway, just wanted to check in and say hello...I've missed all of you and your wonderful support!  I have some catch up reading to do!

Aggie, I'm in the exact same place as you, took a break because I was working lots more hours at work and so tired of thinking *so much* about what I was eating and when I was exercising, etc. Well, before you know it, I'm chowing down on Whoppers and laying on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn watching "American Idol" and feeling like the hugest SLUG. I caught a glimpse of my butt in the mirror yesterday morning and it was NOT PRETTY. I'm so mad that at age 41 I have to really *keep* working hard just to not gain weight and get out of shape. And I have to work EVEN HARDER to lose weight and inches. Sometimes I wish I were a man. Darn metabolism.

Anyhoo, I'm clawing my way back out of the pit of "Icandothisallonmyown" just like you. Want a hand up?? :-)
