Things have been difficult on the diet front. They've been off-kilter for a long, long time. My work environment is optimized for binge-and-guilt eating (my supervisor is constantly complaining about his ultra-low-calorie diet and scrutinizing the calorie count of everything anyone else eats). The husbeast has been an enabler, as over the summer he was able to pack on the calories due to it being cycling weather. (TMI ahead) My body has been rebelling due to the Anti-Baby-Device the doctor insisted was the only form of passive birth control that I could use. It's hard to stick to eating properly when the only thing that seems to give you some sort of happiness through intense cramping comes packaged in a "Dairy Milk" wrapper.
Things are looking up, though. For starters, the ABD is getting yanked next week (at my insistence). The Husbeast is tired of the pounds he's piled on since cycling season ended & his calorie consumption didn't go down, and if I have to tell my supervisor to stay the hell out of my calorie count because I have my OWN issues with food, I'll do it.
I stopped smoking around this time a few years ago. It sure wasn't on the actual first of the month, but it was within a week. I figure I can use the same sort of motivations to get off the junk/processed food.
One of my motivations: We saw the first Hobbit movie last night, and while movie seats have come a long way, they still aren't WIDE enough. I spent the whole 3 hours with my arms crossed in front of me because I didn't want to encroach on the small child sitting beside me (sad!). I felt very aware of the size of my stomach, and just how FAT I am. I enjoyed the movie, but I was damned uncomfortable.
It starts again TODAY. I may not be perfect, but at least I can make an effort.

First of all, big congratulations for giving up smoking!! That is a huge accomplishment and you should be very proud of yourself for that! Secondly, none of us are perfect, but the only way we will ever succeed at anything is by trying, and that's what you are doing! :) I know how difficult it is to live with people who don't eat the same way that you eat. No one else in my family (2 other adults and 2 teenagers) eat the way I do, but with determination, willpower and a conscious effort, it can be done! There are many people here, including myself, who are more than happy to help and support you along the way. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask for help or to ask any question you may have. Making a lifetime change in your eating habits is a big endeavor, but it's well worth it. I wish you lots of success!

Thanks, Angie! The support is MUCH appreciated! I'm going back to LC and the Husbeast is essentially going Low GI (he will still eat some grains and starches). There's a lot of crossover there, so we can at least keep the food bill down ;)

LOL! That's true! It's always a plus when you can see the up-side in situations :)
