Newbie needing motivation and on WW

Options
Hello all!

My name is Meredith, and I have reached the dreaded 30 year old mark (;
I have been a vegetarian for 12 years, and I need to lose 15 pounds. I have joined this site to gain motivation. I am currently also enrolled in Weight Watchers Online. I have successfully lost 15 pounds and kept it off for 3 years. Unfortunately, I just put that back on recently and am not super motivated to take it off. I love to eat, and I have a hard time limiting my portion size. My work can be very time demanding and stressful, so it often leads to 14 hour days (aka too lazy to work out when I get home). Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Thanks guys!
