For us on New Years day we start taking down our decorations. As much as I enjoy putting them up I enjoy taking them down and getting my house back in order just as much. I'm ready to gear up for Valentine's Day

You're so right - that is NOTHING but a toss up - lol.
Speaking of diets earlier, here is something I read in my morning quiet time (sorry, but I often do this before NOTHING, don't tell K) -
"
Do not cling to old ways as you step into a new year."
I think we (meaning our society in general) put way too much emphasis on food and we often use it for the wrong purposes like for comfort, or to soothe anxiety, or boredom - you get the drift. So I propose we learn to develop new eating habits that we can carry through a lifetime. That will be different for each one of us, unlike a diet like WW where everyone is on the same food plan. I know what works for me but I'm certain it would be too restrictive for others and probably unnecessary as well. I need to absolutely abstain from certain things because they send me in a tailspin that is difficult from which to recover, sugar being a huge trigger. K mentioned cutting back on portions which may be all he needs to do and it will work for him. So my point is call it what you want - a diet, a food plan, or a lifestyle change - the point is not to cling to our old ways because obviously they were not working. So let's move forward in the New Year with the goal of not just losing weight but for the purpose of improving our health in general. Fw, you're NOTHING but on the right track with setting a goal to get off your BP meds which is a great example. Hopefully some of the changes we make this year will not just be temporary for the sake of taking off a few pounds but will become permanent for the sake of our overall good health.
