I'm maintaining my weight fairly well considering the fact I've had a few minor binge eating episodes. I'm also dealing with some personal issues that's eating at me, but I believe I'm getting a handle on them. I have to admit to feeling very overwhelmed. Last week my calories averaged nearly 2000 per day. Even worse I only exercised 1 1/2 days. I know it's a result of my poor coping skills, but I'm in the process of regrouping and more self-aware. The above picture was taken yesterday-- 14 years after giving birth to my firstborn. I remember my post partum weight being around 215 pounds November 1999 I believe but was convinced the baby weight would "fall off" the way it happened with my college roomate (who was 19 when she had given birth). That was so not the case and so began my yo-yo dieting journey. I did manage to lose some of the weight thru diet and exercise, but lo and behold I became pregnant with my 2nd child December 2000 and the process started all over again. My goal is to maintain a weight between 160-165 pounds, and judging by the photo I defiitely need some help in the toning department.

| Friends and siblings celebrating my oldest son's (seated teal shirt) 14th birthday! |
Welp, the foods served at my son's birthday gathering got the best of me! I'm not all and out disappointed with myself, but I wish I had showed a bit more self-control. I found myself stuffing myself only because the food was there and not necessarily because I was hungry. His birthday was one serious cheat day and my weight today reflected 165 lbs.! A weight I haven't seen in nearly a month. Well today is a new day and I am getting back on track....
Okay so I've made it thru all 3 children's birthdays, halloween, and next stop Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years! Lord willing I'm allowed to live to see these upcoming days, I want to exercise discipline and moderation.
