OK last summer, I had just completed months of crazy-successful dieting. I went on an optimistic rampage and threw everything size 12 & over out, reveling in fitting in my old size 8 - 10 summer stuff. Bought a few new things too.

Well so here I am a year later tearing my closet apart after having gained ALL the weight back. After a lifetime of yoyo dieting I don't know why I thought I wouldn't, but a stressful year led to some comfort eating I guess.

Finding something to wear to Memorial Day pool party was a BITCH. Ended up having to go to Costco and buy a swimsuit (size 14 ) although I have a really cute one from last year that is hanging around mocking me.

Am really coming tot he conclusion that mindful eating has to be a one day at a a time thing for me - I really can't drop the ball for weeks and months at a time and that's what happens if I let myself relax.
