happy new year?

So, dear readers, how did you ring in the new year?  The Fella and I brought my visiting parents to a beautiful look-out point and watched the Sydney fireworks.  Oh what a show!  Of course, I hated not being with my girlfriend in London.  I miss the traditions we had so so much.  But new traditions are forming - with The Fella - and these fireworks last night were the best display I've ever seen!

So, New Year's Eve was a blast.  New Year's Day morning not so much.  And not because I was hung over - I wasn't.  But because I stood on the scale.  I have gained so much weight in the last five months - mostly since losing my job last month, though - that I'm almost back to my pre-Michelle Bridges body/weight.  And this realization resulted in me slumped on the couch and in tears.  The poor Fella couldn't do anything but ask me hard questions about the root causes to my relationship with food, and make me a cup of tea.

So.  2014.  So far not a fan.  But let's see if I can keep these tears in check and work towards a body I'm happier with again.

How the hell I'm going to do this with my parents visiting for three weeks and all the eating out that entails I have no idea.....

What New Year's resolutions have you made?
