Happy to report that today was a success! I stayed on track and even started keeping a food journal so when I am no longer on Medifast it will already be a part of my daily routine.
Medifast is easy to follow, the food is really not bad tasting and the one meal a day that I make myself is simple and I feel satisfied after eating it.
Because I was use to eating what ever I wanted, when ever I "thought" I was hungry (or it smelled good, or I was sad or bored), there were times during the day that my stomach was talking to me.
Went to the gym this morning. 30 mins walking. My Medifast coach wants me to not do more then that for a couple weeks to give my body time to adjust to the reduced calories.
My big accomplishment of the day was cleaning out my closet!
I have spent my adult life dieting, and as a result of that have five different sizes of clothes. Not just a few items in different sizes, full wardrobes. I started the weeding out of the closet by removing anything that I had not worn in the last year (in my size) and then moved onto anything that was a size above what I am in now. My goal is to remove any item as I shrink out of it. I think I provided myself a crutch by leaving the clothes that didn't fit. Knowing they were there and I would not have to really acknowledge it in the form of a trip to the store for a bigger size.
I feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel. I wanted to do something to make a change but surgery was a scary thought. I feel that I can achieve the results I want doing this program. I plan on weighing in one time a week.
Thank you prodigy88. I look forward to hearing how things continue to go for you and wish you great success!
