Getting Re-Started

Well just as the title states I'm trying to get re-started with my weight loss. I'm not in it for the quick fix or anything like that - I just lost sight of where I was headed, and how to get there. I started a very hectic work schedule and the regime I had going literally fell apart. Four months later I'm 'only' about 8lbs up from where I was, and I'm unwilling to gain anymore weight. The Christmas crap-fest is over and restricting is not in my vocabulary so this is still going to take a while - my goal is to get back to being and feeling accountable for what I eat, and not make excuses.
A little bit of background on me - I'm a single Mother to an 8 year old cheeky chappie; full-time Manager of the children's charity shop I used to volunteer at; constantly fighting a spending addiction and the consequencial debt; live with my crazy family in the county of Lincolnshire, UK. I have an urge to travel that I can't afford yet, and one day I will have a house with my own library and vegetable garden.
I know alot of people will be feeling as I do, and I'm looking to be more of a friend than I have been lately to those who haven't deserted me here, and any new friends I gain along this new section of my journey, while I learn to juggle with even more balls than before
If I don't speak to you before, have a fab 2014 :flowerforyou: xx

Hi,
I've been slacking since Halloween and am ready to get back on track now that the holiday season is over.
You can do it.
Good luck to you.0 -
I am re-starting as well. I have really got off track over the past few months and I'm just done feeling like this. Feel free to add me as a friend.0

I haven't been slacking in fitness, but I haven't been keeping up with MFP, and I know it makes a difference, so I'm restarting that documentation. Here's to a great 2014! I raise my water bottle to you all!0
