I'm trying to find balance in my life- New to MFP.

I have belonged to many sites like this- but I think this one will be the icing on the cake. I am really going to make it a point to log in each day and follow a plan and make time for meditation, exercise and nutrition. I have been battling weight for awhile. I have always been skinny, but after my 2nd child I got lazy and depressed. Not a mental depression, but it is like I gave up on myself and from that point on my body ballooned out- then came baby #3, 4 and 5. I wasn't overly obese, but I have a lot of hidden fat especially around my middle that is where most of my viseral fat is- yes, a diabetic waiting to happen. I have tried many times to lose the weight and I succeed, but then I give up and gain it all back again- instead of rejoicing in my victory I go back to my bad habits and the cycle begins again. I have really been working hard since May- I started running, weight training, yoga and I lost 10 lbs, but gave up and here I am again at the weight I started with in May. My inches have stayed down but my weight is back up. I need dicipline, motivation, goals and the mindset that I deserve to be happy and healthy! Here's to another new start. I will be 44 at the end of the month, so I need to get a hold on this so I can enjoy my life and my family.
