My first post!!

Yay! This is so exciting for me. I have been throwing around the idea of beginning a blog for so long now, and finally decided it's time. So for the 2 or 3 people that may actually end up reading this, thank you for joining me on my journey. I am getting pretty close to being 30, and my life is not exactly going as planned. I really dislike the job I am at right now. I am an administrative assistant / service writer at an automotive shop. And it has been extremely slow lately. So all I do is sit around in a chair for 8 hours pretending to look busy. It is exhausting doing nothing, as silly as that sounds. Which leads me to another problem. Eating out of boredom. This is a MAJOR issue for me. I eat when I am bored at work. I eat when I am bored at home. I eat when I am lonely, I eat when I am sad. I eat when I am happy. Bored is the big one though. I was on weight watchers up until last week. I did really good on it for about 3 months. Lost 17 pounds. Then after Christmas came around it seemed like I could not really get back on the wagon after that. I would follow my plan all day, then when night came around I would always go over my points and end up not tracking anymore cause I was to embarrassed to even admit it to myself. And last week I was having a terrible week, and decided I did not deserve to be on it anymore and cancelled my subscription. Lame. I am pretty angry at myself for failing. I have a friend that is on it and she has lost about 45 pounds since September. I think that is why I gave up so quickly. The pounds just melted off her. Me, not so much. So I got mad, gave up, and quit. How mature, right?
Okay so not all my life is horrible. I do hate my job, I have food issues, and I rent an apartment in the most ghetto building I may have ever seen (I exaggerate, but only slightly), but I have my little ray of sunshine, my little 3 year old son. He is maybe the funniest child I have ever met. I know I am biast, because I am his mother, but he really is a very good kid. He stuck a pea up his nose last night and he thought it was just the funnies thing in the entire world. Me not so much, but thankfully with a plugging of a nostril and and good blow, out came the pea. No harm done. Me and his father are not together and have not been for a long time. I knew when I got pregnant that we were not going to be together forever, but was ready to be a mom, and he was obviously okay with this as well, cause I am sure he knew we were not going to make it either. We stayed together about 3 months after baby was born, then got back together when he was about a year old to give it one more try. But there was nothing left between us. We were roommates and nothing more. So we split custody of our son. He has him for 2 weeks and I have him for 2 weeks. We have both moved on with our lives and remain friends. It's a good system, although for 2 weeks of the month I feel empty.
So anyways, I could go on forever but would like to have something to write about another day, so this will be the end of post number #1 (yay!!). Oh by the way, I have decided today, one day late, and after I had a huge chocolate muffin for lunch today (which may have been what pushed me over the edge) that I am giving up chocolate for lent. I am not overly religious, or even catholic for that matter, but I do believe that this is a good reason to break up with chocolate with a while. Easier said than done, but I'll keep you updated on how it's going.
