Here We Go Again

200 even. Got clear up to 221.5 again. That was November 2nd. Today is December 3rd and I am 200.  This time I am going all the way. My initial goal was met today, 200. My goal for next month is 190. I should surpass it. My ultimate goal is 160. Right now that seems not possible. I know it is, but not all the way! At 255, it seemed impossible.  

It is so funny, if it were not for the health part, weight is so much about perception! I am sure I seem huge, even 55 pounds lighter to most people. But to me, I feel, well, skinny!  I know I am not. But compared to where I was, skinny.

The health part is really the number one priority. Extra weight kills. It also makes life a lot less fun. I have less energy. Feel worse about myself. Hate the way I look in or out of clothes! At this point, I am really surprised (again) at how much more energy I have.

How am I doing it? Medifast is what is working for me. One of the biggest issues I had was not having time to eat. So I would have breakfast, and either get hungry during the day and eat something bad. Or I would go all day and get home and just binge! Even taking a lunch rarely helped because of all the running around I do.

With this, I eat 5 meals a day that consist of something from Medifast. Then one meal of a lean protein and veggies. I can have that meal whenever I want.  I don't get hungry at all!  The meals available are quite varied, from shakes and granola type bars to soups, main course type meals and even brownies and cookies! The deal is, the right food to start with and controlled portions.  What really works for me is the bars I can carry in my purse and no matter what is going on, I can grab one and have one of those 5 meals.

As I have written before, I am sure I have a "bad" carb addiction. When I have one, I am in big trouble and it triggers binge eating that can last for months.  Healthy carbs do not cause that.

We even went to a Christmas party last night and I still lost a pound today! I just ate the protein and the salads. It was awesome! I did not even feel deprived and really enjoyed the meal.

Medifast was at one time Dr. supervised. Now you can do it on your own. You still get a Health Coach, no additional charge. They are awesome with help, hints and answering any questions.  Mine are Gary and Deon Fisher. The website is www.exfatty.tsfl.com .
