checking in

I haven't posted in over two months. See how much stick-to-it-iveness I have? (I don't think that's a real word, but I've heard it used! So there.) Well, things haven't been going fantastically, as you can imagine. I got on and then fell off the WW wagon within the space of about two weeks, I ate a lot, and I didn't exercise. Is it any wonder I weighed in at 170 this morning? That's pretty high for me these days. I usually hover around the mid-to-low 160s.

So with that in mind, and because I know that this behavior has to stop, I'd like to start posting here again. Not that anyone reads it, but that's not the point. It's for me. A place to ramble on about my fatness.

I've been walking a lot lately. It's the best alternative to stress/emotional/boredom eating that I've found. I love walking. It makes me feel better, and as opposed to, say stuffing a pan of brownies in my mouth, it doesn't leave me with that heavy food feeling afterward. This is a good thing. I want to continue this trend.

I can't go back to WW. I can't count things. It drives me nuts, and it breeds an all-or-nothing mindset that's just unhealthy, and that dooms me to failure from the very start. So I'm just going to try to listen to my body and make good choices. I'm not stupid. I know how to do this. I just have to stop sabotaging myself and actually DO it.
