I've been reading blogs, posts, the Medifast websites, everything I can get my hands on. I have my food order. I went grocery shopping today for my lean & green meals for the week. I think I am ready.
I've taken my measurements. I have not yet taken my "before" pictures, but I have my camera charging to do so. I will weigh-in tomorrow morning. I am close to my all-time heaviest, but not quite there, so that's something.
The thing I like about the Medifast program is the long transition and the forever maintenance. I need that. When I did WW, I did great while losing, but after I got to goal I thought I could just go back to my old ways. So....of course I gained back almost every pound I had lost. I'm good at losing and gaining, but I can't seem to maintain. So, maybe with this plan I can learn how to eat for the rest of my life.
I really don't have much trouble with portion sizes, my problem is with SWEETS. I love them. I live for dessert. I can't just eat one cookie, I have to have a lot of them. And not just a small portion of cheesecake, I have to have a huge slice. That's where I have to learn portion control. I also tend to binge on sweets. AND, guess what, I hate vegetables too. So.....not sure how I will do with the lean and green meals. Hopefully I can find a few "go to" vegetables for my lean and green meals.
And I'm like most other women, I eat when I'm sad or upset. But I also eat when I'm happy. I will have to learn to control that. Why do we do that? It does not make me happy when i finish off a gigantic slice of pie or bowl of ice cream....
So, tomorrow my journey begins. I'm worried and scared, but also excited too. And since they recommend to not start an exercise program for 3 weeks, I'll be waiting to start my walking program. But I'm anxious to get that started also; I'm tired of gasping for breath when I have to walk a short way. I'm ready to get healthier and feel better.
HERE GOES....
