Getting Back on Track When the New Year Resolution Has Failed

I have lapsed, Peeps. It has been at least a year since I last posted to the Patch. It's so easy to get sucked into laziness, but I have decided that things will change.

I have let myself go for TOO LONG. I'm currently 13 pounds heavier than I should be, and I can feel it.I remember the day I fit into single-digit size pants; I promised myself I would never go back. Well, I can still wear those pants, but they don't fit well. The worst part is I've fallen into the feel guilty--eat to feel better--feel guilty about eating to feel better-trap. How did I let this happen?Things need to change, Peeps; I need to change.With this in mind, I've set some goals for myself.

Goal #1: This is the most important goal. I need to go back to logging my calories. I lost the most weight when I logged into My Fitness Pal, and I was able to maintain that weightloss for a long time. Then I got away from it, and I am in a Pit of Despair.
