The reason I decided to weigh myself yesterday when I was starting my "diet" today was because I wanted to see what sort of affect it had on my weight, even in just a 24 hour period.

So after I weighed myself, I laid in bed and ate and entire box of strawberries with about half a bag of chocolate chips, 1/3 of a pint of Haagen Dazs chocolate peanut butter ice cream, 1 glass of champagne and 2-3 glasses of wine... I kind of lost count. =/

Here's what this morning's weight is: 243 lbs

So overnight, I gained 1 pound. Possibly just the weight of the food in my stomach, but all the same I'll definitely be working out today. 

Breakfast today is a non-portion controlled bowl of Rice Chex with low fat milk (probably about 2 cups of each) and a small glass of V8 VFusion (Blueberry pomegranate: yummy!).

So, at this point, I think I should explain one of the reasons why I quit Weight Watchers. It is a very helpful program, there is no doubt about that. But I had a huge problem with weighing and measuring my food. I know one of my biggest problems is portion control, but actually getting out measuring cups to measure it!? It was WAY too far for me and I just felt that doing it made food so much less enjoyable. Maybe it's just because I hate math? And with WW I was allowed 28 points/day, and sometimes I would want 1.5 servings of something to fill up my points allowance, and then math came in and I would get frustrated and just forego the extra points just so I wouldn't have to figure out how many teaspoons were in a cup or something like that. >_< I'm getting frustrated just thinking about it.
