Special Me: New Year's resolutions are upon us! The time when you wish for the best because you have known the worst. So you may wonder why I haven't blogged in the past three weeks. Well, I have just regained consciousness from my family holiday food coma: the family home cooking brings you to make those finger-licking future memories: something magical happens when the family sits together to enjoy a meal: savory silence. So my own New Year's resolution: yes, you guessed it - the proverbial winter weight shedding in time for a 2012 bikini body. I first have to begin where I am - anything else would be arguing with what is and not accepting accountability and ownership for habits that have broken previous resolutions. I have a hard time managing quantity and quality eating. Once a self-disciplined eater, my self-control has given way to easier, albeit harder, times. It is easy to want to eat healthier but the difficulty is changing engrained habits for a whole-grained, whole foods/plant based diet. It comes down to my relationship with myself: if I have control over myself, few will ever want to control me. More critically, if I have control over myself, there is very little else I would want to control.
