My new plan - weight

With this last baby, I am officially the heaviest I have ever been. This really irritates me. I put on weight the whole time I was nursing Lucy 10 years ago, 40 lbs in 9mths. I am NOT doing that again! I can say that because I think it was mostly from bored eating, depressed eating, and pouting eating. I am back to my "Weigh Down" mentality. Brilliant concept, flawed theology. I started Wednesday and I already dropped 5 lbs of what I can only assume was water weight. The irony is that part of my reclaiming my life plan is that I put a glass of water in the fridge. When I open the fridge, I see the glass and it triggers my brain to think before I eat. If I am eating to entertain or coddle myself, I take a drink and close the fridge. I also have resigned myself to posting my weight on the homemaking Yahoo group when it changes...either way. I only ever weigh myself at my mil's house since she has a scale and I don't. This helps because I don't obsess about it.

So here is my plan:
Step 1 - Water glass in fridge, water bottle in headboard
Step 2 - Reduce visual food temptations
Step 3 - Gum available for when I feel my jaws need to be active
Step 4 - Menus laid out in advance WITH TIME FRAMES!
Step 5 - Post progress on website.
