....in the first place. This shot was taken at the beginning of February, right before I started my Jenny Craig program. I must be honest, it was the most humiliating experience I can remember, even trumping my colonoscopy in 2000...and if you've ever had one of those, you know that's quite humiliating. Woops, back to my original point....
So, people are wondering if I can just eat anything on the planet. Well, yes...in MODERATION. I have NO designs on going back to the girl you see in the picture above. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty ok with this girl:
If you go back to my very first post, one of my goals was to wear a bikini this summer...and well, I did it! This picture was taken over the weekend at Long Beach, NYC....and it was fabulous. Now, I fully realize that I am no Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model in this shot...but I must say, that for the first time in my life, I got up from my beach towel, and walked down to play in the ocean, without feeling like I had to grab an oversized t-shirt to cover myself up on the 30 foot walk. I have NEVER done that. And once I was done playing in the water, I didn't have to have someone standing at the water's edge, waiting to hand me a huge beach towel to cover me up for my way BACK. It was liberating. It was almost spiritual (as corny as that sounds)...
I'm still eating Jenny food, but I'm able to add a few more calories here and there during my maintenance phase..and honestly, after this past weekend of debauchery, I was actually looking FORWARD to my Jenny food! It's so perfectly portioned and delicious, and it brings me back to a comfortable feeling of being in control. Just because I'm at my goal weight does not mean that the journey is over...it's a lifelong journey to a happy, healthy lifestyle. And I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure the girl in black, at the top of this posting, never comes back!!
More pics to come as they're taken...and as always, if you have any questions, or if you want to know about the program, PLEASE...do NOT hesitate to contact me. Email me (laura@b95.com) or just pick up the phone and call 800-Jenny20. Or check out www.jennycraig.com....whatever you do, if you want to lose weight, and you've tried everything, LIKE I HAD, do yourself a favor: Make. It. Happen.
Why the weight???? ;)
Till next time,
