I just read a very powerful post on Roni's site. She talks about emotional eating and it is really great. Here is a little quote:
“You will not lose weight until you value yourself more.”
It really made me think about myself and my own habits. I feel that since my IVF attempt in June, when I have let "getting pregnant" go, I am finally making some progress with getting in shape. I feel like a big weight has been lifted (not pounds, but figuratively :) and I can see what a toll this (infertility) has taken on me, mentally and physically. Out of the past 6 years, I have been trying to get pregnant for 4 of them, and pregnant and having a newborn, the other 2.
Now, I feel like I can make fitness goals. It is exciting.
I can't wait to see what happens.
I promise to post more...

Delayed response but wow - thanks for sharing that post! I'm so glad it helped make you feel more "up" to getting more on track! (I personally can't imagine the toll that takes on you - even though it's something my sister has been going through for the last almost-two years...)
Getting "skinny" is so much easier when your head is in that motivated place. The only thing I ever found that works is the WeightWatchers points system... but even that didn't work for me until my head was in the right place!
this girl is amazing she lost 100 pounds and answers all my emailed questions with great weightloss advice http://freeweekly.weebly.com
I definitely believe this and think it's great to think about and be reminded of - great post!
Nice blog and Congrats on the foodie blogroll!
it is SO SO TRUE.
for me I carried around 40 extra pounds UNTIL it was no longer about looks and something else.
and I valued my body for why it could do for me and CHOSE to treat it with love and compassion.
xo xo,
Miz.
You are so right about being there mentally and valuing yourself. Everybody wants to make changes but it's all empty because they don't think they can really do it.
That was a great post with a good message. Good luck on your fitness goals and I hope that when I come back you have posted more.
