This past week I heard from several people who have restarted the weight loss portion of our Program. Here are four of my favorite quotes from the last couple of days:
"I kept thinking I can do this on my own ... then I'd slide back into old habits and a couple of pounds (POUNDs of fat!) would find their way to my belly ... OK, I'm back on for a couple of weeks and am so relieved to be in fat-burning again!"
"This time, I'm doing things differently. I've set my 5 Medifast meals out each day - my wife put hers in baggie for the week - and we are having our lean and green at lunch time. I take mine to work. By the time I head home, I have two Medifast meals left for the day. I'm drinking more water and I reach for a glass whenever I feel the temptation to cheat. I'm looking forward to transitioning and maintenance, but for now, I just remind myself that I have plenty of fuel "in storage" ... besides, "NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels!" Thank you for you encouragement!"
"I have an old scar on my forearm ... when I gain a few pounds, it pulls and hurts!!! When the excess pounds come off, it feels fine and doesn't bother me at all ... what a great reminder!!
Finally, it's almost swimsuit time!!! Like we've heard before, "NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels!" (I know that's in this note already but I need to hear it and internalize it again and again!!!)
