I'm starting a new diet today. I have been so frustrated with my inability to lose weight mainly because I lose momentum quickly. Yesterday I got a kick in the butt that made me rethink my reasoning. I was standing in line to place some things in a kids consigment sale and saw my reflection in a wall of windows. It was a side view and it made realize how big I really am. There were other people of varying sizes and I was the biggest one. OUCH! The windows didn't distort either so it was kind of scarey.
Now I know your saying to yourselves "She sees herself in the mirror everyday why would this suddenly change things now?" I do, but I make a point of looking at myself from the front not the side. Not as frightening size wise. It was enlightening to see myself from a distance and sideways.
I'm starting out at 210 so I'm going to post how I do on here. Just once a week though.

Good luck, Baby. I'm with ya! I was 207 before the move, but took two weeks off from working out, and now my mile time's gone from 14 minutes back up to 18, dammitall. I haven't weighed yet...
Good luck! I'm here to support you, you know that. :-)
I keep making false starts, too. I keep hoping that I can get my schedule under control and actually make it work. Maybe I should just give up and just try not to gain any weight between now and the end of July, then worry about losing the weight after I take the bar exam. Ugh! I just want to see me when I look in the mirror again!
I think we all have trouble making the person in the mirror match the person in our head!
When I ws dieting, I used fitday.com and then finally downloaded the pc version. It really helped me see where my food was going and motivated me to make healthier choices when I had to log everything in. In fact, I've been meaning to start it up again because I'm pretty sure I'm not in a good place nutritionally right now.
Sam: Getting ourselves back on the wagon is important. I never would have guessed your weight being close to mine though. You look great.
Siren: I know what you mean. We picture ourselves one way and then look and realize that isn't what we see anymore.
JY: thanks for the site. I checked it out and it's a real eye opener.
