Beating My Head Against A Wall

Wow. At this rate I won't post again for 4 years. And I'll have added another 20 pounds by then!

So what's changed?

I quit that round with Weight Watchers pretty quickly. I've continued to slowly gain weight. I've started exercise programs and quit them all dozens of times. I've learned to completely ignore certain parts of my body when looking in the mirror. I had a health scare and have struggled with getting the medications correct for managing my depression symptoms.

And 3 months ago, my family moved to another state.

I was hoping the move would have a bigger impact on my health than it has. We moved to Oregon, and everyone here seems pretty obsessive about being outside and being healthy. We literally live across the street from a park so I started walking the dogs. It seemed perfect - my 4 year old could be on the playground while I did a few laps around the walking path. And it was great until the 4 year old decided it wasn't. And it turns out that my Jack Russel terrier is a pain when there are other dogs around. And then my husband's new work schedule returns him home later than before, and he shorted out the elliptical's control board by using the wrong plug, and blah, blah, blah.

I am full of excuses.

So now what?
