Wait....w'wait....WHAT did you just say???
That's pretty much what I was saying to Christine today, after stepping on the scale and seeing that, after a water week from hell, I had lost another 4.9 pounds, bringing my grand total to 24.1 pounds lost. This means I am 1.5 pounds LESS than I was when I graduated college in 1997. This also means I'm a little over 15 pounds away from my GOAL. G O A L. WHAT??
Honestly, it's so hard to believe, because I have NEVER stuck with something this long..and it hasn't even been that long! 10 weeks. That's it. I'm FAR from what you would call "patient"...and in the past, if I didn't see a DRAMATIC loss in the first 2 weeks, I threw in the towel. This has been a completely different experience though.
What makes it different? The one-on-one support, the nutrition, the REALISTIC approach...I can't tell you how much THAT means! Anything that promises you immediate and rapid weight-loss (shakes, pills, crash diets, fads, high carbs, low carbs, whatever) is garbage. Sure, you may loose weight...you may loose a TON of it in just a few weeks. But, let me ask you...can you live like that the rest of your life? Can you go to your favorite restaurant and say "Yes, I'll have lemon water, some salad, and a giant protein shake. That's it."? YOU WILL GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK. You WILL. Not you "might". You WILL. Why? Because you've done NOTHING to change the way your live your life. Jenny Craig is not a DIET....it's a lifestyle change, and you have to be ready to commit to that in order to make a difference. I don't mean commit to Jenny Craig, I mean commit to ANY kind of weight-loss plan. Trust me, it's not always easy. It's not always simple. It's actually kind of terrifying, especially if you had the kind of relationship with food that I had: A bad one. A controlling one. A losing-battle one.
I'm about to make some lunch so this will be brief...but I want to leave you with two things that have kept me going, and that may help you motivate if you haven't started yet...or may help you keep on your program:
1. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
2. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
That's my little brain-nugget for you today...enjoy...it was fat-free and had no calories... ;)
Till next time,
