    You will get there. 140 is my ultimate goal and I'm probably much shorter than you! Currently at about 169, which I'm pleased with as I've lost 26lbs in the six weeks since Ellie was born, and that includes eating everything I fancy at 3am.

    155lbs is my interim goal for the end of 2018 as that's what I weighed when I fell pregnant, but I can't see myself actually trying for a good few months yet. Not until I can get 4 hours of unbroken sleep. I fed her so many times last night I lost count.

    I’ve been binging nonstop BUT I have a new plan that starts today to get myself under control.
    And I’m buying a scale as soon as I go back to school.
    I hope everyone else had wonderful holidays! I got lots of books and now I have so much time to read <3

    Good to hear from you. And good luck with your plan.

    I love tuxedo cats!! Mine is getting on in years and I may need to adopt a new barn cat for our place.

    Hurrah for adoptees. I am a dog person but pro all pet adoption. (Cat hair makes me itch immediately and gives me pink eye if I am around it for more than a a day or two.)

    Too bad your aren't in NJ. The adoption people were asking me about a barn for a cat but ours already has 5 I feed!

    I can’t stop binging. I’m fatter than I’ve ever been in my life.

    No helpful advice as I know jack squat about EDs, but being 'fat' is not a reason to punish yourself. Be kind to yourself.

    I don't know how "fat" that is, but breathe and let it go. Get a journal, write about why you're binge eating instead of binge eating. You can burn the pages later if you want, but get it out there where you can look at it and make a plan to face it.

    I weighed 225 pounds more than once in my life while I wasn't pregnant. (highest ever was 245 right before a 9 pound 3 oz boy came along.) I regularly ate whole jars of peanut butter and whole large pizzas alone. You can beat this. I know you can, but I couldn't until I rooted out the cause.

    Also, Spam is right. You shouldn't beat yourself up over your fat. I have crappy fingernails that break all the time. Why don't women beat themselves up over that? It's also a nutrition problem and I purposely bought veggies today to try to fix it. :)

    Confession: I just spent $18.50 at the laundry mat rather than spend New Year's Day doing the six loads of laundry that I still needed to wash. Sometimes my time is worth the inconvenience of dragging it all out and back in. It only took 90 minutes to wash, dry and fold it all.

    Happy new year! It's actually already 3.30am here, but I missed midnight because I am so rock and roll. Hope you all have a good one.

    And here I thought you missed it because you have sense enough to sleep when Ellie sleeps. :) Happy New Year.

    Happy New Year’s Eve! My son is going to work with hubby, so my plans include a pint of Ben and Jerry’s, a good book, and my hot tub.

    Sounded like a great way to unwind on New Year's Eve.

    Happy New Years! Mine involved seeing a movie with my mom, Chinese food and a couple of episodes of Blue Bloods. I was in bed by 11. ;)

    That actually seems pretty cheap. I would totally agree with that (spending $ to save time). Hence a cleaning lady. :)

    Glad you had a wonderful year! That is terrific. I won't say 2017 was stellar but I am looking forward to 2018!

    I can't justify a cleaning lady, but I can justify doing all of the laundry at once occasionally.

    Ah laundry, the rate at which we create it is amazing. Today Ellie pooped up to her armpits in one sudden go, got it all over me too. It's not the squillions of baby clothes that we have to wash, it's the collateral damage to my very limited wardrobe! Gotta do a lot of washing when you only have three pairs of trousers that vaguely fit and you get puked on 12 times a day.

    I can't believe hour much I create and it's just me! I can't imagine 2 adults and 2 kids under 3.

    I remember those days. That was the worst part of having newborns.
    ETA: I have a kid home for Christmas. One college kid at home all the time. Two in school and Denni and me. It is a lot of laundry.
