So, hi!

It's been a loooong time. Last time we met I was just at around a 50 pound loss and about to go away on a two-week long art-related getaway. I had a great summer and an extremely busy and stressful fall. Here now in 2012, I feel fairly content with just the right amount of "stuff" going on in my life, yet... I gained back the 50 pounds and maybe a few more – I've been afraid to confirm or deny that on the scale.

Oh god, it's so sad that I haven't been able to get a grip on this one aspect of my life. I try not to beat myself up over it but it really is frustrating. Not to mention, I know that weight fluctuations like that are so bad for you. And I'll be 42 this year and really need to make my health a priority, etc. etc.

I'm writing here today because I was on my way to writing in one of my other blogs and happened to see the picture of myself in the previous post. Look how much of difference 50 pounds makes in my face! Blergh. Well, maybe just starting to write here in general will help me get into a better mindframe to tackle this yet again. Anyway... if you are still out there, I hope you are doing well! I'll be posting here fairly regularly again, to see what I can make happen.
