Going on vacation

I am going on Vacation for one week. I am very nervous about how my weight will be after the week. It will be hard mainly because we'll be eating out every meal. We didn't get any hotels with kitchens, so we won't be able to monitor our eating habits.

This year

This year has not been a great year for weight loss. Unfortunately I lose about 15 lbs but then during August/September put it back on when family visited and I got stressed. So I decided to turn to weight watchers.

Yep I decided el-cheap that I am to pay for help. I need to be held accountable. Which is funny because I find being $ accountable easy. I have no trouble accounting for every penny invested or spent.

But food? Well that's a different story. So in mid-October I signed up for weight watchers and have thus lost 12.8 lbs. My goal is to lose 10% of my body weight by 1/8/08. I think it's possible. I'm almost there.

I made it a stretch goal because holidays are a tough time to lose weight. But this path I've taken is different and new. It's no longer a diet. I don't diet, I am changing my lifestyle. I may have to live forever on this flex plan constantly counting, measuring, and evaluating what I eat.
