I never ever thought I would see myself as a yo-yo dieter, and I'm not sure the term fits exactly, but I am beginning to realize I am closer to it than I'd like. I've been a member of MFP for several months and been on other sites previously, but all in all I'm only down by maybe 10 lbs from my highest. (I reset my ticker/start weight at the beginning of the year, I forget exactly what it was when I started here last July).

It's not so much that I do crazy crash diets or anything, just that I try to make healthy changes, stick to it for days, weeks, or once in a while for a few months, and eventually I just go tumbling off the wagon. I haven't seen the smaller side of 200 lbs in years.

Somehow I've just got to improve my sticktoitiveness.... but somehow I always lose focus. Probably in part because I rarely see progress as fast as I'd like, often because I end up making poor choices despite my best intentions. My depression (and my sweetie's as well) has been a big part of what's been holding me back, but now that the days are getting longer (I have SAD) and he's found a doc who has him on meds that are helping a lot, I think change is ready to come.

I would really really love to rebuild my friend network here. I removed a ton of folks a few months back when I realized I wasn't keeping up with people as well as I wanted to. I really regret it now because while I adore the friends I have here, I need all the support and encouragement I can get. So please, feel free to send me a friend request!
