To whoever saw the Valerie Bertinelli commercial for Jenny Craig - Did you CRY? I did. I am so happy for her and so wishing it was me that wasn't trying to come up with a NEW resolution, that doesn't sound like last year's resolution or the one before that. The truth of the matter is that I have been overweight for most of my life, and I haven't been at a HAPPY weight since 1992.That's a lot of THIN Resolutions.... I've made some positive strides during my fat times, like NOT waiting for thinness to live my life, but I've never actually managed to lose REAL noticable weight.
I have run countless 5ks, 10ks, 2 half marathons, 1 marathon, and 7 triathlons. I am a swim instructor and a lifeguard. In 2008, I am committed to my first OCEAN SWIM triathlon, and I have to buy a wet suit. nuff said.
I am sick of being fat, but obviously not sick enough to do anything about it? I've given HUNDREDS to Weight Watchers, probably more. I know how many calories are in just about any food you can name. I know how to eat a balanced diet. I know I have a problem with portion control. I know I am not always prepared. What is it that CLICKS in people like PASTAQUEEN and DIETGIRL? I want what they're having...
OH and the TALES FROM THE SCALES Challenge? I took a little 2 week vacation and NOW I am back. Obviously I will have to get on the scale to see the damage I've done, but I am going to try eating normal for few days to even out the mess... AKA PROCRASTINATION... Expect a reading by SUNDAY 12/30!

Sending hugs your way. I'm sorry your holidays weren't relaxed and joyful. Instead of making a resolution to be "thin," why not make one to say NO once in a while so you can lose the stress and have more joy in your life? :-) Put your health as a higher priority. Practice with me now - "I'm sorry, I can't."
Sorry to hear about your dad, too. Will be praying for you.
