My starting weight : 185 lbs.
I am not sure what I want my goal weight to be. My short term goal is 170. That is the smallest I've been in my adult life and, to be honest, I liked how I looked at that weight. It also puts me at a healthy BMI. I'll evaluate once I reach my short term goal, and see how much more I'd like to lose.
I still plan to weigh in on Friday morning (If we are back home by then) and post some "before" pics. This week will be tough. We are down with my family and I tend to eat MUCH more in social situations. But, that's life. And, I need to learn how to control [my killer instincs?] HA!
I have great intentions. I even packed fresh fruit (pineapple, cantelope and blackberries) in a cooler to bring down with us. However, there is an awesome Mexican restaurant and a Pizza Hut (complete with a Wing Street) calling my name. My parents house is also home to about 3 different kinds of cake right now...that's going to help a lot.
My mini goal this week is to control my portions. My problem is not that I eat a brownie. It's that I eat 2 brownies, then talk about how awesome they are as I grab another. Then I go sneak into the kitchen while I eat the next one because 4 is just WAY too many. By then I'm addicted and I just talk about how I'm a pig and I need to stop eating this way. Honestly, it makes me mad to say this. Why do I let food get me like that. I know I shouldn't be doing it, but I do it anyway; and really that's not how I should be living. So, this week I'm focusing on just stopping and giving myself time to really think about what I'm eating, Instead of cramming six brownies into my mouth then complaining about my wide hips and flabby arms.
Well, that's all I have for tonight. I'll be back friday with some pics (that I know you are just dying to see!) and a weight update!

Oh Tiff...you made me giggle when I read this. The whole sneaking back to get more? Totally me. And I'm kicking myself the whole time. I honestly think that part of my problem is that I have a real addiction to sugar. I think people can become addicted to anything. Sugar gives a natural high. It also gives a natural spare tire. Looking like the Michelin Man when you're a baby? So cute. When you're closing in on 30? Not so much.
