My blogging has been sporadic and, let's be honest, boring.
I wouldn't blame you if you were to stop reading.
Life's busy, and blogging is unfortunately at the bottom of my list of priorities.
I am excited for 2013 though. VERY excited.
And while my resolutions never stick, I have seen people talk about intentions.
This morning I stepped on the scale and saw a scary number. A VERY scary number. I simply can not go on gaining weight - I have to make changes. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
This weekend we took the family on a little getaway to Mont Tremblant. We took the boys tubing (SUPER FUN) and while I was walking up, with my tube, I had a panic attack. What if I don't fit in the tube? What if my 3 year old can't sit on my lap because I'm too fat? What if we fall off because I'm simply too big?
Sure, none of this happened, but I don't want to be in a place where these thoughts actually enter my head.
It's not just me going on a diet. It's more than that, I've done diets, they always fail, I need to start with my head.
If anyone has any books, blogs, sites they find motivating, inspiring, helpful, healing - please send them my way.
I am concentrating on reading things that will help me in my journey and focus on the positive. Again, life is busy so I only have so much time to spend on ME (without having to worry about the boys, work, lunches, swimming lessons, skating, skiing etc...) so I want to make sure to make that time count. Really count.
So let's go 2013, I'm excited to start and see where I end!

I'm with you ending the diet head mentality. Be kind to yourself, aim for eating and living healthy. I just signed up for a course on trying to sort out the weight issue, hopefully something good will come out of it. Take care Happy 2013.
I hear you. I don't want another plan. I just want to figure out how to be healthy without driving myself crazy. That's my mission statement right there. :)
I had some success last winter with cutting out wheat & dairy. That was HARD, and I don't want to completely cut those things out if I don't have to, but I am hoping to get back to the mindset I had at the time, where I seemed to be able to eat what satisfied me without going over board and/or binging. I guess the intuitive eating thing - but on my own, without a bunch of rules to follow. If that makes sense.
Best of luck to you!
Do you follow GoKaleo? I started following her when Katie linked to her. I think the things she say make a lot of sense. I just don't understand how you, you who is so fit, you who is so strong, can not lose the weight you want to lose. I know you feel the same way. Is it time to go to a doctor or naturopath or something to talk about it. Maybe there is something else. I don't know. I don't want to scare you. But I just don't understand.
