Modkittn's right. BREATHE. The unfortunate thing about weight loss is that panicking and wishing and mooning over that sexy little bikini can't make the weight fall off any faster. The only thing that
can is smartening up and getting really serious.
As for recording everything you eat, I've got a few different suggestions.
First, I have a blank book fetish, so this kinda thing works for me. You know when you go into Chapters, and they have that wall of really pretty, colourful diaries and journals? You could go in, find one that you ADORE, and simply having it will perhaps give you the incentive to remember to write down your meals and snacks. Keep it by your bed or in your kitchen, somewhere where you might have time to flip it open and record the last thing you munched. Even if you don't have time to calculate WW points and such YET... do it later.
If this isn't really your style, if you're more of an "always on the computer" kinda gal, start using a website like
Fitday or
The Daily Plate. Either of these sites is really great for tracking what you've eaten that day, you just use their search engine to look for whatever food you consumed, or if it's a specific brand that they don't have, you just google the name of the food with "Nutrition information" and find all the information, then you can put it into your Fitday and reuse it when necessary.
I've never done weight watchers, but people in my family have. It's a really good support system, I've heard, so I would use it to your advantage as much as possible. Keeping track of those points, or counting your calories or whatever you decide to do is really important, because sometimes through absent-minded snacking or eating things we haven't checked the nutritional labels on, we're intaking FAR more energy/sugar/etc. than we need for a day.
Of course, I'd also suggest that you find some form of exercise. Even if it's just walking-- I've lost weight several times by diet alone, and it's hard, and it's slow, and it never stays off for me. I'm not really a sporty kinda gal, and I don't ENJOY working out per se... but I've never had weight drop off faster than since I've been going to the gym (just about every day).
Also, hanging around the 3FC forums is really great to keep the support and advice coming in. On days when I have had absolutely no interest in going to the gym or sticking to my calorie counting, these ladies have inspired me more than anyone ever has in my life. They've inspired me to keep going, and I hope they and I can do the same for you!
GOOD LUCK, hang around! Let us know how you're doing!
