A New Beginning

July 9, 2012

Ok, I have been messing around here for months. I do well for a while, then not so well. All the while I watch the weight just falling off my daughter. So I have decided to join her and do Medifast.


I have watched how she eats when she is out, what she eats when she is here each week, and it is not that different from what I do except she doesn't eat the starch. She eats a plate full of vegetables and a good sized portion of lean protein (the Lean and Green meal). The rest of the time she eats the Medifast products. Once I get through the first week, I will be fine. If it works the way it is supposed to, I won't need to be doing it for very long and then I can do the transition and maintenance. I am looking forward to this new leg of my journey.

I know that there are many who have a really negative attitude towards Medifast - I used to be one of them. But I am willing to commit 3 months to this and then assess where I am. Sure, it's expensive. But I paid almost this same amount of money to Weight Watchers while I gained 40 lbs.

So, my food will arrive later this week and I will get going.
