Hey all! I LOVE MEDIFAST!!! I am finally getting used to this new life style. It's been 5 weeks for me today. I could get through the week OK, but the weekends were still REALLY tough! Well, this past weekend, I noticed that I wasn't struggling to stay on plan! It's wonderful! New habits are forming, good habits to replace the bad habits. I even had a minor emotional melt down yesterday and didn't even think of eating away the pain. (I still get really REALLY home sick). Then, I got on the scale yesterday with only a .5 pound loss. I didn't pitch my usual fit...you know the one..."I've been dieting all this time for .5 pounds????" I recalled all the plateau posts on this forum, thanked the Lord for the loss thus far and am trusting Him and this plan for more awesome weight loss!! On To GOAL!!!!

I know that struggles and cravings will still come, but for now, I am enjoying my new found strength and control

Wow Joyce!!!
You are on your way to a new and healthy life. Great job!! It does get easier and easier. Food becomes fuel for our body rather than a band-aide or a reward. That's just what it should be... fuel!!! The temptations never go away but we are armed so that we can say no. I'm happy for you.

Hi Joyce,

I'm with you!! It certainly does get easier and becomes such a normal routine to follow the program.

You're doing great! I'm sorry you get homesick. I know my daughter still gets homesick and calls me so I can relate somewhat.

As for the plateu......aacckk..... I was there the previous week and it finally broke. I stayed off the scale for that week, it was driving me whacky!! I drank even MORE water too.

You can and will do this!
Have a great week!

Wow Joyce that's terrific! Weekends are especially hard for me. I hope that in a few weeks I'm saying the same thing. It sounds like you are really changing your whole attitude about food!
