Weight Watchers Take 2 (or more like 200!)

So yesterday I began the wonderful weight loss journey again! I've known for sometime that this day was coming, but I knew I had to hit "rock-bottom" first. I looked at myself in the mirror on Saturday and was disgusted. I know I can do better, so I'm going to attempt this again. I can do the diet, that's not the hard part- the hard part is when I reach my goal and decide to go back to eating the way I used to. I just can't do it again!!! Once it comes off this time, it's going to stay off (I hope!)

So here's the stats:
Start Date: July 27, 2008
Start Weight: 162 (yikes) which makes my BMI 27.8 (Just as a reference- BMI <18>30 is obese.
Goal Weight: 130 which makes my Goal Loss 32lbs

I hope to do this over about 5 or 6 months, provided there aren't events that make me have to gain weight *wink, wink*

So yesterday was a really tough day to start. It was my brother-in-law's 21st birthday party and of course there was plenty of junk food and booze around to celebrate. I was relatively good- I ate the dried veggie chips mostly, and a few tortilla chips. Then I had one slice of white pizza with broccoli and a little bit of caesar salad. I avoided the dessert table completely and only had iced tea (brewed unsweetened) and caffeine free diet coke as beverages.

The hardest part for me is water intake. I have trouble consuming that much water. I usually can get in a 25oz water bottle at lunch at work, so that counts for 3 servings. I'm going to try to use water to stave off my mid-afternoon hunger, so we'll see how that works.

wish me luck!
