Holy Shit! It's Been 17 Months!
Like the title says, it has been 17 months since my last post. So many fabulous things have happened in my life since then... my wedding to a wonderful man and the birth of my gorgeous daughter to name two. 
One thing that has not gone my way at all, has been my battle with weight. On 12/6/08, just 2 months after my baby girl had been born, I am at my all-time highest weight- EVER! Well, except when I was pregnant, but that doesn't count in my book. At 5 feet 2 inches, 255.6 pounds is a disgrace, a health hazard and a cause for shame and humility for me. How did I let it get this bad? What should I do now? Cry in another pint of Haagen Dazs?
On 12/6/08 I started WW. Since then, I lost 6.4 lbs and last week gained 1.6 after Christmas. Now is the time to get back on track. This is where I plan to account for myself and help work out my emotions regarding my weight. Here is where I plan to cry and pout. Here is where I hope to get inspired, because I gotta tell ya, it's only the beginning and it's already hard! 
I may even discuss taking a weight loss pill with my doctor to help kick start my program. Man, this shit ain't easy. But, I've taken the first step... I am back here. And I am going to WW meetings. All I gotta do now is believe in myself. Right? Is anyone else with me? Let's make this a year of renewal and of faith in ourselves. It is time to take control before things get any more out of hand. Welcome to those of you who are also back from a long hiatus. We can do this!!

Yay, you are back!
Twink! AMAZING to see you here - once again we are on the same path. JUST this morning at "work" I have been re-reading my ENTIRE blog, 12 pages of motivational posts from my 50+ lb loss in 2006. Like you, I have cried in too many yummy meals and am also over 200 again, and also 5'2" and ALSO ready to kick this ONCE AGAIN!!! Can't wait to go on the journey again together!!!

Twink, try www.renfrewcenter.com Looks like they have a NYC location, and Ridgewood, NJ and CT. May be able to see if they can offer a referral though. I figure I've attacked this issue from several angles, none of which provide lasting success....time to dig deep! (shudder)

Hey Mommy!
Aw, it's so great to hear from you! First of all - cheers to us new Moms! I had a little boy, Ephram, born on Oct. 17th. So our kids will start school together! HA HA!Are you going back to work? I'm going back teaching in a few weeks. Girl, I so dread it! I just wanted to be with my baby! UGH!
Amen is it ever hard! I am still working on recharging my own batteries while nurturing my baby and my husband. It's a big transition all around!
It's nice to know there are other Moms like me doing the home workout thing. Keep in touch!
