So I started my diet, medifast, on the first day of the diet bet. I have kept really close to the recommended plan but I've had some challenges. I love cheese, that's what I cheat with. I thought i'd have a struggle not eating sugar and bread products but I've done super well on that part. this is the first life style diet change I've stuck with for more than a day or two. It has really paid off and I'm now @ 74% of my goal. :)
What has really been helping me with food cravings: I ask myself what I got by eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted? The answer is nothing good. I got immediate tasty satisfaction, that is gone so quick that is hardly worth it anyway. I got being overweight, feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, teased, potential health issues... the list goes on.
Some of my goals: I want to run in one of those color runs. where you get splattered with brightly colored powder. it looks so so fun. I want to do a mud run, which looks challenging and awesome. I want my boyfriend to be able to pick me up. I want to feel comfortable and not feel like constantly pulling down my shirt over my stomach. I feel like I am constantly adjusting my clothes. I want to get off my medications that I take for obesity related problems. I want to be happier and healthier.
I hope everyone is doing great and nearing, or surpassing, their goal. :)
