I QUIT!
Medifast, that is. I can’t do it. I gave it three weeks…but it just isn’t for me. And for those who’ve had success on the program, I give them major props! Seriously…it’s a damned hard program to follow. (If I ever see one more bag of dehydrated soup again in my life, I’ll scream!)
On a good note, I took the basics of the program, and applied them to real food. I read an article in Women’s Fitness the other day that said something to the effect of, “Most diets don’t work because they aren’t something you can follow for the rest of your life.” Duh. Exhibit A: my cabinet full of little white packets. Some of the items weren’t bad…but I just wasn’t feeling satiated on 3 shakes a day, some disgusting soup, and one meal. Nope, not for me. I’m a foodie at heart. After going through that torture for 3 weeks, I’ve realized how good you truly do feel after eating HEALTHY food and acceptable quantities. Once again, Duh.
So, I have to follow through on it this time. ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO! I kinda hinted at the bf that I wasn’t going to follow Medifast anymore because I literally couldn’t stomach it. He started lecturing me, and telling me that he wanted me to stick with it, because he noticed that I was “looking smaller,” as he so graciously put it. So, I MUST stick to this self-regimented program of mine. He’s lost faith in my weight loss and willpower abilites (can’t say I blame him one bit) and I have to prove him wrong.
I also need to prove to myself that I’m strong enough to slay this monster once and for all.
Day one of “Kelly’s program: a success!”
Stay tuned for further news coverage! =)

You can do it girl! We have faith in you!
That’s awesome. As long as you keep learning and applying the knowledge you’ve gained into something you can actually do. I agree with how diets don’t work: it needs to be a lifetime change, pure and simple. Keep it up!!
Way to go! For those that can diet and maintain I say bravo, but I’m been there and done that and you where I am today, it was not sustainable for me. So I will either learn to eat healthy and reasonable or I’ll die in my addiction, I prefer the first option!
Yeah, medifast is hard…i have a friend who did it…lost twenty pounds…it is back!
Congrats on your loss so far - you look great. Hang in there - you can do it!
