I need a Pal.

I've decided to watch what I eat and drink. I haven't been gaining a huge amount of weight or anything - I just haven't been feeling as good about my self recently. My weight has been fluctuating between 152 and 157 every week and it affects how my suits fit for work, etc. The big thing that did it for me was when I forgot my suit jacket for work one day two weeks ago. I walked around the newsroom looking for one of my co-workers jackets that I might wear to do the weather and I could only find jackets that were size 6 or smaller! I just wanted to cry. I wear a size 8 or 10 and I could not even squeeze into the 6. It just looked ridiculous.

So hear I am making a few changes to my diet. I've decided to be more concious of how many calories I am eating and to keep track of them. I've also decided... NO MORE COKES. If you know me, you know I'm addicted. I went from just having one a week, to having just one a day, to .... well... just one didn't hurt, so I'm going to have another.

My goal is just to slim down a little... my goal at this point is to get down to 140. If I make it to that weight, then maybe 135. We'll see how things go.
