Hi everyone, my name is Mica. I'm new to the group. I'm 5'1 and I weigh 212 pounds. This is the heaviest I have been, and I'm terrified. In 2013, I had reached 200 pounds, and I dropped down to 160. Due to a job change (which turned out to be a nightmare!), I fell back into old eating habits, and stopped running. I gained back the 40 pounds I lost, and gained an additional 12. I hope to make new friends on MFP. Thanks for listening.
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? no. I kept digging in the candy bowl at work...eep!
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? I didn't set a personal goal for yesterday....
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I didn't help myself to a 2nd serving of dessert.

Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc. )? Nothing new today.

Goldk - as far as 'changing my thinking', I'm trying to get back to a place where my health is a top priority again (weightloss being a big part of that). It has been a super stressful year for lots of reasons and I really let that get to me ... a lot of my bad eating and not getting in enough exercise is because I've felt like I just can't handle everything at once, and it's easier not to try. But things are looking up, and feeling crappy because I've gained so much weight back isn't helping anything. So it's time to stop my pity-party and start concentrating on getting healthier - mind and body.
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? no
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? no
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I did manage to ignore the muffins in the break room
What would I have done differently? for some reason I made cinnamon rolls and had two of them at bedtime, along with some cereal - I didn't need that. I also got in no exercise - should have done that instead of eating more.

Eggplant parmesan is good :-) Sliced thin is good but there are some times that I am not a fan. Needs to be cooked right or it taste bitter.

Thanks! My year has sucked too :-( My 13 year old daughter is well... 13...hating everyone and everything (except her phone and friends)... LOL and not having my mom around is taking a toll on me too. The grieving process is long. I try to make good choices. I try to get my workouts in but here I am pretty much where I started in 2009. I understand when you say you can't handle everything at once. I know that some day we will not have to think about this and we will just adapt to a new healthy lifestyle - with limited pizza, wings, beer, cheese, bread, sweets, etc... LOL There is no quick fix. Hang in there. You are not alone. We are going to figure this out
