Wednesday night-June 13
First two days are over. I actually think I am not eating enough because I woke up with a huge headache this morning. I am also going pee A LOT. I think I had a headache because I ate so much fruit all day yesterday and it may have been too much sugar too late at night when I had my last bowl of fruit.
I have been eating a lot of leftover shrimp and chicken from the grad weekend. Today I had a bunch of points left over by dinner and went to taco bell for a fresco burrito supreme chicken. When I was reading the restaurant points plus conversions online, I was pretty amazed at the high values of some of the foods we eat out. (although peanut buster parfaits were not as high value as I though they'd be).
Need to go grocery shopping for some better planned meals.

June 11, 2012
Started Weight Watchers tonight AGAIN. The last few months have been SO uncomfortable. Saw the graduation pictures and could not beleive how chubby I looked. Although uncomfortable, still don't feel as chubby as I looked in the photos. A year ago, when I saw the pix from New York, I couldn't believe it. Now, I actually look chubbier.
I couldn't even believe my weight at weigh-in. 203.2 lbs. WOW. Unbelievable. I had a hard time listening to the speaker during the meeting and during the beginners meeting after. 203, 203, 203, 203 just kept running through my mind.
My goals for starting this journey may seem superficial, yet since they are my motivation, I'll list them:
Immediate: I do not want to be a big fatty in New York this summer. I want to feel comfortable, whether it is hot and muggy. I want to have fun moving Chloe into college and not worry about how I look.
Long Term: I want to wear all the clothes in my closet that are tight or uncomfortable. As I gain weight, I have fewer and fewer clothes to wear. I have a whole closet full of clothes that I cannot wear right now. It is getting expensive to keep buying clothes to replace my wardrobe.
I want to wear cute dresses like Hoda and Kathie Lee. I don't want to spend so much time in the morning trying to hide, I want to highlight, what looks good in my clothes.
I want to run a half marathon. I don't know why. I know that right now I cannot workout very much without getting extremely winded.
I chose Weight Watchers because in the past I have lost 10 pounds in a month on Whole 30 and much more when I was on Atkins for longer. Unfortunately, they are so restrictive, that when I went into the maintenance phase, the pounds came back quickly, because I compensated by eating too much from feeling deprived.
No more "how did I let this happen". Now it's "Make it happen".
IT IS ON.
29 points per day. 49 extra points per week.
Go.
