The silence here can only mean one thing. That is that things are not going well in the land of diet and exercise. Full confession is that I have gained a few pounds and my eating is completely out of control. I am humiliated by this failure. I have been too embarrassed to come here and pretend like I was trying to do something about my weight when all of my actions indicate the exact opposite.
I would like to make a bold declaration that it stops now or something like that but the truth is that it will probably continue through Christmas. We will be traveling to my parents’ home in a few days and I am not foolish enough to think that the place where I developed my bad eating habits is the place where I can stifle this bender.
But I have put a big red circle on December 27. I’m not waiting until January 1. I want to beat the rush.
I am in the process of setting some goals for 2013. I’m trying to be realistic but challenging. I’m trying to focus on health versus pounds. I’m trying to set goals that will carry over to my children. I’ll be posting my goals here in the coming days. For now, it’s just this. I am lifting my head up from the fog and trying to find my path again. My destination has not changed even if my journey gets delayed now and again.
