{sigh}

I have been MIA for a while...both from this blog and from my weight loss. I am still cooking healthy, but I have not been as careful about my portions and have been indulging in some unhealthy snacks. Often. Much more often than would be helpful in weight loss, or weight maintenance for that matter.



I have a confession. I am a stress/emotional eater. When my life is going bananas, I don't exactly reach for a banana, if you know what I mean. I am aware of this fact, but that knowledge has not stopped me from myself.



Is anyone else out there going through this? Anyone want to help me hold myself accountable? I'll help you hold yourself accountable, too, in return. My biggest support system thus far has been my sweet L. The problem with that is: he loves me whether I am fat or thin. He loves me too much to yell at me when I need a drill sergeant. I don't want a drill sergeant, (yikes) but I do need someone who will not let me off the hook and is not afraid to hurt my feelings when they need to crack down on me.



Here is my commitment to you: Starting tomorrow, I am going to document my food intake. If you want to encourage me, I will love you for it. And I forgive you for hurting my feelings when they need to be hurt, I'll actually thank you for it.

 Wish me luck and see you soon(or not.)
