I spent most of 2010 wallowing in self pity. Well, not sure if self pity is the best description of it, but self something negative for sure. Towards the end of the year it got unbearable to the point where I decided that things have to change. I've wanted change for a quite a while, but always thought that change had to come from somewhere else. I have now decided the change has to come from me, even if I can't actually fix my problems myself. So this year I am making it a real effort to take control of my life and to forge a brave new destiny. It's almost like starting over, except for a couple of people I made a commitment too that I need to address first.

Another part of my campaign for change, a new diet to get myself on track by summer. I didn't even wait for the new year to start (started on Christmas Eve). Already down over 5 pounds :D
