Hello out there in the forum world!! Some of you might remember me from a year or two ago.... I previously had a diary called "When your fat jeans become your skinny jeans." It treated me well, for sure, and for those of you who'd like to catch up or refresh your memory, here's a link for you!!

To cover the bare minimum facts - I am 27, somewhere close to 5'8", female, 150 pounds, and would love to get down to 135 finally. I hit 137 for a brief time more than a year ago, but never quite got past that. More important to me than the weight, though, is just gaining a healthier relationship with food (I am a late-night binge eater!) and getting my muscles back (I could at one point and time run ten miles.... now I fight to get three in).
A bit of time has passed since I posted in that last journal.... Essentially, life got a little hectic, for me, anyway (it doesn't take much to derail me.) The biggest issue, though, was that after a split with a very long-term boyfriend I discovered he was keeping up with my life via this diary. It's not a private thing, obviously, I can't fault him for reading, but I wasn't comfortable with the situation and stopped writing. BUT! Here I am, a long time later, with a new diary, a new desire, and a new chance at a healthier lifestyle! I had been missing this place like crazy and even though it seems like most of the people that formed my support system back then have faded away like I did, I am looking forward to meeting lots of new people and hopefully re-connecting with at least some old faithfuls!
So, because it is getting late and I am quite tired, I will leave you with some more basics about my life. I am excited to start posting regularly and would have liked to have put more thought into this first post, but I also knew that my sleepy mind was going to trick me into deciding to put off starting a new journal for the zillionth time.... and I needed to start it N-O-W. If not now, then when?
Here we go!
I -
...live in Massachusetts, but grew up in the Midwest.
...live alone, leaving no witnesses for most of my eating habits.
...work in an office, where I sit on my booty all day.
...am studying to be a Certified Public Accountant, which means a year of my life will be spent on studying and exams.
...own two adorable guinea pigs, and don't care if that makes me a little kid.
...have been in an amazing relationship for just over a year, and hope to get him more active with me this summer.
...got a taste of hiking and camping last year and want to do it much more often gong forward.
...am notorious for binge eating around 10pm, on anything I can get my hands on.
...once considered myself a runner, and absolutely love doing races.
...just want to feel like I'm treating my body right, no matter what the scale says.
