I have the same new years resolution this year (well, for a few years now). To eat healthier, organic, nature intended foods. So far so good too! It’s so hard but now I just think “that’s not real food” every time I see an Ihop commercial!

Hey Lynn,

I feel your pain all too well! I started my first diet at the ripe old age of 5. Yes, five years old! All the kids at my school in England were super skinny and I was a little chubette with chubby parents.

Nowadays, I don’t “diet” but have made healthy eating and exercise part of my life–as routine as brushing my teeth. I follow the 90/10 rule–eat well 90 percent of the time but allow for little indulgences like a glass of wine or a piece of chocolate. That’s definitely been my road to salvation. I’ve also found that yoga helps me lose weight–even if it’s not the super-strenuous kind. Anyway, I could write a novel about this but won’t take up any more space except to say best of luck and success in 2010!

Keep us updated on your progress! It’s not easy to find time to exercise – that seems to be the key. I know what you mean about 4 years later the baby weight is still there. In our cases, I think it now needs to be called “preschooler weight” We do what we can.

Good luck on your weight loss goal. And if you see me at BlogHer next summer, remember that I always look 10 pounds lighter on the internet.

Oy – I’m right there with you! I’m on the weight roller-coaster – lose, gain, lose, gain, lose, gain. Last year was a bad year for me and I just started Body & Soul’s Whole Body Action Plan today (http://www.wholeliving.com/photogallery/action-plan-week-1). It’s a 28 day plan that has a holistic approach to getting healthier (like including meditation and journaling). I’m excited for a jump start for the year!

Amber and Sommer,

Thanks for your supportive comments. Sommer, you’re sweet, but honestly, I’ve been cutting myself slack for way too long. I am afraid if I don’t do it now– then when? That’s why I’m being so public with this.– Lynn

Oh Lyne, you have to always remember to cut yourself some slack and realize that even if there is “extra” weight your smart and beautiful. I’m a lot like you with extra weight being added this year from emotional eating and having a goal of getting it off this year as well. I’ve done it before and I can do it again, it just takes reminders that I am worth it and that what goes in my mouth goes to my hips and impacts my health! Good luck Lyne you can do it!

Good luck! And I so understand where you’re coming from, even down to eating more when I think about food. Nothing makes me hungrier than the idea that I don’t need to eat vast quantities of ice cream.

Good luck!
