it has been a bumpy year, I started Dietbet in 2014 and did very well.   Then in August it all came to an end with car accident and subsequent spinal surgery.  Being unable to exercise or work for months, I have gained all my weight back and I am miserable.  I swear I can feel the fat growing.  I know I put myself in this position and it is my responsibility to get myself out of it.

    On top of all that I have been forced into working second shift at work, I have been on first since I started 8 years ago.  I also was told my father is very ill and we are still awaiting a prognosis.  I am trying not be be an emotional eater but it happens.   I have been depressed, angry, happy, sad, lonely, frustrated and very very tired.  Ice cream calls to me and so does fast food.   

    I know eating these foods is what has put the fat back on, and being sedentary for months.  Having Bronchitis for the last 3 weeks didn't help either.  Can't exercise when you can't breathe, just now getting my voice back.  I know excuses, excuses, excuses.   No More!!!    

   I know I need to have a structured plan, I know I need to plan my meals, plan my workouts and stay focused.   Years ago I lost 43 pounds and felt great, but I slipped, I was so obsessed with calories it scared me.  My family said I was too thin, funny since I was 178 pounds and technically still overweight.   People get used to seeing you FAT and want you to stay that way.  

  I love to cook, I love to eat, I hate exercise, I love the outdoors and Scouting.  I would love to call myself a runner by the end of 2015.   I like to help people, I try to be very supportive, but sometimes I need someone to be my cheerleader.   I don't like to take help from people, but the accidentt and surgery this year has humbled me a bit.  

   I hope and pray this is the being of my best year ever!
