GRADUATE SCHOOL HAS BEEN THE BANE OF MY WEIGHT LOSS GOALS!

Hello and Happy Saturday.
I've been incognito for a while...so lets just jump right into it!

Highest Weight in the Past Month-253.8
Current Weight-252.2
Weight Gain since I moved to Boston-about 15 lb
Highest Weight in My life-330 lbs
Lowest Weight (April 2012)-219 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight-155-165lbs
Goal Weight for End of November-240 lbs

WHY I HAVE BEEN GAINING WEIGHT
1. I've gotten too comfortable
2. I've made new friends and we go out to eat 2x or more a week 
3. I've been drinking lots of beer on the weekends
4. I go to graduate school full time and work 20 hours a week ( wake up at 8am don't get home till 9 pm M-thursday).
5. Boston University's Gym is Located on the other campus and it takes about 20 minutes to get there, most nights i'm too exhausted after classes to want to work out.
6. I spend so much time studying that while studying I"m subconsciously stuffing my face with food

HOW I CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM
1. The scale will be my best friend and my enemy
2. I will track everything that goes into my mouth
3. I will only eat salads or healthy meals at restuarant and I will cut down going out with friends. Also I will eat before I go out and sip on water at the restaurant.
4. NO MORE BEER...vodka and shots will suffice
5. I will join a boxing gym in my neighborhood that opens early so I don't have to worry about going to the gym
6. I will be mindful of what I eat, when I eat, how I ate and why i'm eating
7. I WILL NOT GIVE UP.
