Smacked in the head with the reality of the past

As if my body isn't enough to reflect what I've been doing (or lack thereof) for my body, when I go to log in my calories/excercise in I'm reminded that over a year ago when I started this thing I weighed less than when I've re-started again.

ACK!??!!? Seriously, why do I do this to myself? Ah yes, because some of those foods just taste so good. Evil companies that work hard to make things taste so good that you can't stop or you crave them. I saw a news report that shared how much companies spend on R&D for this very thing. To target people like me who like that yummy tasting stuff. Oh why can't I LOVE the taste of the good things for my body?

The mountain ahead of me looks so big. I know all the things to say to other people when it comes to losing weight. I'm THE best cheerleader......but don't implement those things into my own mind or life. I've lost a significant amount of weight (80 lbs. or so) in the past and had kept it off until I became pregnant with my 1st son 7 years ago. Hold up. Huh? 7 years ago? Has it really been that long ago? Ouch. Hold on while I go kick myself.......

Alright, I'm back. Seriously - 7 years and I'm at my heaviest - even during my pregnancies....with twins to boot!! OK, off to plan my attack on this weight and take my life and health back from the junk food that I've let take residence on this 5'4 frame.
