It’s a new day, it’s a new year and that always brings more possibilities. Mostly for me it brings everything that I put off until “After Christmas”. I am realizing that I put many things off until after Christmas. One of those things is my health. The past couple of years stress has taken a big toll on my overall health. I know that I need to do something about it, but taking care of myself is not my strength, so I always seem to put it off. Are you like that? You’re so in control of so many things and you do them well, but that one thing keeps on dragging you down and you can’t seem to beat it?

So, here I go again rolling up the dieting yo-yo and giving it another spin. I’m not calling it dieting this time b/c apparently that will trick me into thinking I’m just going on like any other day (uh huh). I’m NOT motivated or excited about it. I’m even expecting to fail. This is a new approach for me b/c usually I’m very motivated, ready to go and I run at it full force before crashing and burning roughly 3 to 4 weeks later. I think the longest I’ve ever taken a diet may have been 2 months. I am going to do something though. Having deduced that my emotions play a HUGE part in dieting success or failure, this year I’m enrolling in classes that will help my body and my mind.

Are you in the same boat? Let me know about your struggle even if it’s not a weight struggle. What yo-yo will you be restringing this year? I’ve realized that I can’t do it by myself and that I need help with this part of my life, it’s not my strength so I have to count on others. I’m planning to try it anyway.

Good luck to you and wish me luck!
