Hello! Jumping in with both feet this time!

Hi everyone!

I've been languishing back and forth on dieting for awhile. I originally joined the site back in July and did GREAT in the two weeks that I actually stuck with the program lol. Since then, I've fallen down more times than I can count but I really for like this time, this is it. I am reclaiming my life!

My name is Sarah and I'm 34 years old. I live in NC with my 3 daughters (16, almost 13 and 11) and my boyfriend, Pete. I work a pretty stressful job that requires me to be there around 60 hours a week so a lot of my eating comes from picking up fast food instead of cooking dinner, not planning out lunches and getting fast food, not eating breakfast so buying a honey bun from the vending machine etc etc. You get the picture. I have not made feeding myself a healthy diet a priority and just allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted because poor little ol' me had to work so much. Enough of the pity party.

I'm 5'4 and weigh 204.4 as of this morning. Yikes. I quit smoking this past Easter so I will attribute probably 10-15 pounds of the weight to that but the rest of it is all on me and just my poor habits and lack of discipline. I had to go up to a size 16 US in the past few weeks and that was devastating. I kept fooling myself that as long as I could shop in the "regular" section that I wasn't THAT fat. Ah, the mind games we play with ourselves.

I would love to make some accountability friends on here and hopefully we can keep each other in line!
