Forever DIETING...

So, it is mid summer, I had embarked on a weight loss journey last year.  Did pretty good now have stalled out once again and I am super frustrated.  SoOOoooo back on the saddle I climb and this time not to fall. I have always struggled with weight.  I love food, I love to cook it, eat it, shop for it, cook for others etc...you get the drift here.  I like good food, junk food, I am an equal opportunity offender.  I have been very, very thin to fairly heavy for my frame.  155-160 for my 5'6" frame.  I have been a size 10 down to a 2 or 4.  I am currently between a 8 and a 6 and like to be more like a 6 or a 4.  My ideal realistic weight is about 125.  My current weight is 145.  I was my heaviest (not preggo) this time last year at about 160.  I have followed the Dukan diet which restricts all carbs except veggies.  It is OK, but I like fruit.  I don't follow restrictive diets so well, so I am trying to do a South Beach/Dukan/Paleo/ just clean eating type of thing.  I am certain this will be something I struggle with but I hate feeling out of control with my eating and have a mini war in my head when getting dressed every. single. day!  I fights with my shape wear and always feel self conscious at the end of the day.  I do not want this to continue....do not!  I have a 4 1/2 year old daughter who deserves to see her mom happy in her own skin.  How else will she learn unless I lead by example.

In my most successful times of health I not only ate well, but exercised regularly.  This is where I struggle.  I need a gym plan and also a home plan for times I can't make it.  Piyo is looking like a good option for non-gym days.  I am up for anything so if you have a plan that works I would love to hear what ya got!!
