The hardest weight to lose

I am disgusted with myself.
I keep saying that I want to lose weight.
I am getting married in less than 8 months.
But we just got back from a five day mini-vacation, and I put on at least 3 pounds.
Why???
I need help.
I need a buddy.
I need SOMETHING.
I need to stop eating so much and I need to start working out.
So I begin today.
This morning I was 164. I am only 5'3''.
I want to be 138 by March 15. Is that unrealistic? (This is when my dress comes in.)
What should my mini goals be?
Help me.

I've been really bad about exercising but I started up again today and I'm gonna try to make it part of my routine. I only did half an hour on the treadmill but I got to 1.82 miles. I'm gonna try to work up from there and see where it takes me. Maybe I'll actually lose a few pounds this time around.

I feel it is time. I am recommitting myself once again. And this time I will do it, because I need to start looking for a wedding dress in about two months.
So.

Ok, I've been meaning to do this for the longest time. I've finally got my scanner hooked up so no excuses!
Here is a before and after picture of me. Before, being 1999, my freshman year of college, a picture that makes me want to cry, when I was at my heighest 224. And after, after many bouts with Weight Watchers, south beach, LA Weight loss, and anything else you can think of, here I am today at 153.5, and trying WW for hopefully the final time. I am now 25 years old. Without further ado...the pics. (and yes, they really are both me)
Ok, so, I can't for the life of me figure out how to insert pictures without having a paid account, so here is a link to a kodak album. You shouldn't have to sign in to view them though.
Enjoy.

Yesterday was eh. Nut and berry mix at mid-morning. Lunched with my father and had a club sandwich on whole wheat toast and very few fries.
Back at work, an apple and Rice Krispie treat with my diet soda.

Today there is a big meeting with lunch, so there will be some straying from the path, but that happens now and then.
I will weigh myself on Sunday and hope that I am at least status quo.

Workday food hasn't been too bad so far this week, Chinese meat and veg leftovers and leftover homemade stew (snow food). I do need to get to Trader Joe's and get more of their almonds, which are dry roasted and very large and filling. I tend to want to cook during snowstorms, so I had made a cake over the weekend. I tried the no cholesterol option, using 5 egg whites, and it turned out pretty well.
Today's lunch menu is salad with lite balsamic vinaigrette, Stoned Wheat Thins snack crackers and one of the biggest apples (Crispin) I have ever seen. I should be able to use up a fair amount of time eating it.
I also had to bring my CholestOff tablets in with me, since I forgot to take them before breakfast.

Yesterday was OK. I had some popcorn mid-morning; lunch was plain salad with lite dressing and 1/3 C of salmon salad on reduced fat crackers; dessert was a tangerine and, later, an apple. Late afternoon, more popcorn.
I need to get back to Trader Joe's for the dry roasted almonds I had earlier in the week. They were huge, took a long time to eat, and were very filling.
The amount of time it takes to eat something is very important. The longer it takes, the better.
