I started out this year at 175 pounds, which is quite a ways down from the 237 that was my highest weight or even the 227 which was the weight at which I joined Weight Watchers.
Due to my own carelessness in the past two months, I have gone back up to 189.4 pounds, as of yesterday's weigh-in.
Yes, I'm disappointed in myself. No, I'm not giving up. I know exactly why I've gained 14.4 pounds since January. I know exactly what I have to do to get back on track. And I'm going to do it, come hell or high water. I'm going back to basics. I'm going back to the first page of this thread, and I'm going to obey those Good Health Guidelines like they're part of my religion, and not like they're just something I heard on the news.
For anyone else out there that feels like they're backsliding, now's the time: We still have more than half of 2008 left. Let's do this. Together.
This is a repost. The original, I posted under the Weight Watchers Discussion thread. Then I realized it might be good to share it with those who don't bother keeping up with that thread, so here it is.

Yay, go Kiwi Girl!
Okay, so here's what happened today at the grocery store. This time, my budget was $200.
I started right out with the produce section. That way I knew I'd get the healthy stuff bought FIRST. I spent about $40 on fresh fruit and another $50 on vegetables, and then about $10 on fresh herbs -- dill, basil, mint, rosemary, and some other tasty things. I now have a MOUNTAIN of freshness in my fridge.
Then I went to the meat section and realized that I could buy a whole, small chicken for about $6 to $8 depending on its weight, OR I could buy a kosher rotisserie chicken (already made, seasoned, and VERY low in fat) for $6.99. I went ahead and bought two rotisserie chickens for Sabbath, and whatever we don't eat for Sabbath will become chicken salads during the week.
I bought one bottle of wine and one package of flatbread, because I need those for sanctifying Sabbath on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. I only eat the minimum required, and give the rest to my family and whoever drops by.
Then, with the budget running a bit low, I bought cranberry juice for my significant other and some napkins and laundry detergent, and boom: I came in way under budget. It's a good feeling.
