Have you ever hit rock bottom?

I have!

I know I have been on an unknown hiatus for a little while and felt I needed to pop in and say... well just admit it.. admit what? I am a quitter!!

After several Dr's appointments and 7 weeks of two shakes a day I lost 9 pounds and found out I was completely normal and have no real reason why my body did not want to shed weight. I began to wonder why I was running 3x a week and eating a mere 1200-1400 calories a day and not seeing the results I longed for. THEN, school started and the long days came. I have not been consistent with my running and I haven't counted calories since August 22nd- the first day of school. I admit to eating handfuls of candy corn, the occasional medium fry from MacDonalds, and bread- copious amounts of bread.

God help me..

The end result is that I may have maintained my weight within a pound or two but I feel like crap and I am tired. As my fourth graders would write- I am really, really, really, so, so so tired. ( Do not worry I am fixing their writing)  So, why am I admitting this to you? I am glad you asked. I have totally hit rock bottom. People, I ate fries! Do you hear me? Fries! I had not eaten them in 2+ years!!!!!!

Anyway, I am back sort of. My life is consumed with teaching right now but I will be checking in as much as I can. I will try to get a handle on my eating issues. I believe admitting there is a problem is the first step. With that aside, I think I can get my fat butt back on track. SO here it goes....

Hi, My name is Heather and I am a food-a-holic. I eat when I am stressed. I eat when I am mad. I eat when I am sad. I eat... to eat.

Whew. Glad that is out and in the open. Tonight, I shall jog!

Thanks for staying around and big props to Pat for sticking with it and making me realize what I walked away from.
