A Better Me

I have a problem.  I think I may be addicted to sugar.  I just crave it all the time.  I have decided that my sugar addiction has been the culprit of my weight gain and tight clothing.  I wore a skirt to church on Sunday ... the same skirt that I wore the day Isla was blessed, so 2 weeks after she was born.  And it was tighter this week than 2 weeks after she was born. 

*hangs head in shame*

So my "new year's resolution" is to kick my sugar habit and try to lose some weight.  I've never TRIED to lose weight before.  My weight has fluctuated so much from having 6 kids that I hardly know what a normal weight would be.  As it is, I'm still nursing Isla for the next 8 months at least so I don't have a totally normal body, but I can still do something.  This will be a new adventure for me. !!!!  (right?)

I think it would be cool to get down to the weight I was before I had my first baby ... that would mean losing 30 pounds.  I keep telling myself that if I can have a baby at home in my bathroom, I can certainly discipline myself enough to lose a little weight and get healthier.  I'm sure I would feel better too. 

So I will keep a little "journal" here to hold myself accountable and see what happens.

Wish me luck!!
