Ahem - AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I'll be honest, when summer started, I didn't think that there was any way I'd be able to lose 40lbs. EVER. So I'm absolute ecstatic that I've reached the half-way mark after only 8 weeks. And I'll just come out and say that they have been the tastiest 8 weeks of my entire life. Seriously, I eat better on Weight Watchers than I ever did before because we used to be all carb-conscious and mess and who really wants to eat a hamburger patty with a side of pork chops and an omlete chaser when they could be having peanut butter sandwiches, popcorn, ice cream, hot dogs, spring rolls, and fruit? I'll take the latter, thanks. I jokingly offered my dad a bite of my ice cream sandwich the other night and in return, he tried to tempt me with one of his pork rinds. Luckily I had the will-power to turn it down...mhm. Anyway, hopefully (read: surely) I'll be able to lose 10 more pounds in the five weeks before I go back to school (on a side note: where in the world did summer go? I don't really care, I'm just glad it is gone and hope the rest of it goes there faster). That way, I'll only have 10 more pounds to lose in College Station, and with a supportive boyfriend, a busy schedule, and a kitchen in my corner, I should be extraordinarily successful.

PS: Weight Watcher is so proud of me that they've taken two of my points away! In laymen's terms, it means that when I weighed 1*8 pounds, I needed eat the caloric equivalent of 22 points per day to lose weight safely. Now that I weigh 1*7 pounds, I need to eat fewer calories per day because if I ate any more than my 20 points I'd either maintain the weight of 1*7 or gain more (shudder). Thanks for looking out for me, Weight Watchers!
