Had my mom do my measurements, more accurate this time & scary, just in time before the cut off.

NEW STATS:
STATS
Height 5'8"
Weight 140lbs
Waist at narrowest: 28"
Waist at Belly Button 31"
Hips 38"
Chest 34"
Chest Under Bust 31"
Arms 11"
Low Thigh 17"
High Thigh 22"

~ Also, I have zero willpower when it comes to cookies, which has left me with this extreme guilt that I can't go three days without sweets. I have to keep reminding myself that slow & steady wins the race and that tomorrow is a new day. I start work again tomorrow, which allows me to plan my meals and keeps me active.

~I already ate my allotted sweet for the week (F 1/2 - TH 1/8). 2 Choco Chip Cookies. :-( Ideally I want to eliminate all junk, but I don't want to overwhelm myself with too many goals, or I know I will just give up.
~I am on Day 10 without Diet Soda.
~I am on Day 11 without Regular Coffee. I have been sticking to decaf and 1/2 the caffeine coffees/teas.
~I haven't been eating enough vegetables. My goal this week is to have one fruit and/or vegetable at each meal. I need to eat veggies again. My cholesterol is borderline high at 24yr old, which should tell me that I need to eat veggies somewhere somehow more often than not.
~I am also thinking about cutting out my morning OJ. I should try to cut it down with water, it seems as though the sugar from the OJ is increasing my cravings for crap as the day progresses.

~ On a positive note, my workouts have been great. That has never been a problem with me. Its always what I eat that seems to put me on the edge of not removing the fat that is over my muscle.

I have been wondering if anyone has any tricks to monitor their food. I tried FitDay 2yrs ago and I hated counting the calories, it got obsessive. I am not sure what my other options are.
