Back in the saddle

So here we are, Day 1 of Weight Watchers. It is becoming very bittersweet. I was really excited before attending the meeting but once I got there I was so ashamed that I was doing it again. It is such an admittance of failure to be there, in the meeting, counting points. And I can't believe I let it get this bad. The whole time I was slipping I kept saying so long as I don't go over 150, then 155. After I hit 160 I just stopped thinking about it altogether. I am trying to use all of these thoughts as motivation. I made a poster to put on my mirror that has this picture of me:



I put a caption underneath that says "You've been there, you've done that, you CAN do it again". I know it is lame but I really think it is going to help.

On a higher note, I am doing great at counting my points today. In fact I have only had 4 all day. This means I can still have a good snack later and a fairly big dinner. Plus tonight is our bowling night and I will earn 5 points just doing that!
