Similar to my story?

Hello! I am a busy, 31yr. mother of a 5 year old boy. 5'5 142 lbs I never had to worry about my weight, nor what I eat. Until recently. Seems like I just started putting on the weight, and have problems with eating late at night and portion control. I also love a lot foods I shouldn't eat. Dieting is never fun. I have been on this since Jan ( NY resolution ) I would like to get down to about 132, give or take. I am slowly losing the weight, and eat things I want.. in moderation, along with workouts at least 3 days a week. Crash diets end up failing, that's why I am trying to do this the right way. According to my BMI I was getting pretty close to the overweight range, that's why I am trying to change my eating habits, so I don't get out of control.
I would love to have more MFP buddies on here, to motivate each other, give ideas, etc..feel free to add me if you are in a similar situation:)

Thanks,
Charel
