Wow, here it is the weigh in for Week 6 already. Man, it seems like only last week I was in week 5.
Results for today are: down another 2 lbs. That makes a total of 20.6 for the 6 weeks. On into week 7 now. This program is easier than I thought it would be and very conducive to our multiple times per week restaurant eating.
I do like the Medifast food, but the thing I like most about it is the lack of decisions I have to make and the lessened focus on food. I grab any 5 meals from my stash, doesn't matter which ones - they are interchangeable. Want brownies 5 times? Cool. Prefer 5 different things? Great. When supper comes, I choose 5 -7 oz of a lean protein and 3 servings of approved vegetables. Drink at least 64 oz of water and eat ever 2 -3 hours. That's it. End of story.
Food is slowly becoming pleasant tasting fuel, rather than the focus of my life. Which is really sort of funny because I don't really LIKE food all that much. Sure, I like eating. I really like eating. But food is sort of meh. I would rather snack all day, eating junk blindly while doing something else. So, over time, this is changing. That way of eating will never lead me to health. It never could. And, to be honest, Medifast was never meant to be a life style. It is a tool. Get in there, get the weight off, learn to drink a lot of water and eat small amounts every 2 to 3 hours. Then transition and start adding back foods and learn to maintain the losses. Learn to manage life without using food as a crutch. Learn to look at food as fuel, not entertainment or solace.
So there we are. Down nearly 21 lbs in 6 weeks. I am jazzed, energized and enjoying the ride.
Be well, my friends!
