My gram once told me "Even if you're on the right track, you'll still get run over if you don't move."

Today is the 20 pound weight loss mark for me. I am wearing clothes that I couldn't wear three weeks ago, and I even have a little room in them. There is no pizze, ice cream, or fast food that could ever make me feel this good.

When I first started Medifast I wrote down every fear I had about failing or not making it. Most of these fears were about cheating or being hungry. After looking at the things I was scared of, I realized none of these fears were things I COULDN'T control. There was nothing that could happen, unless I allowed it to happen. No one could force me to cheat, and the food wouldn't just fall in my mouth, either. I was the one who was making the choices.

I had a lot of weak moments and moments when I was so close to taking a "little nibble." I do not think that I am any stronger than anyone else becuse I didn't take the bite. I just think that I have finally realized the only thing that has been holding me back all this time is ME. It wasn't circumstances in life, or being sad, it was because I made some bad choices about how to treat my body.

Although it seems obvious that I should have known this, it's been a huge revelation for me. I couldn't be any happier right now!

Happy Friday Everybody!

Way to go Leigh, Sounds like you are on the right track!

CONGRATS on the 20 pound weight loss!

Isn't it funny how it is "always something" that keeps us from being successful. Then when you realize it's your own choice it's a moment.

I went through a similar thing, end of March. Now it's in my control and it actually has made my life easier. I don't spend the pity time on stupid choices. Actually I hadn't been unfaithful on the program since, until last Saturday when I got sick.

I will be back on program on Saturday.

Keep shaking you have the right attitude

Wow!!! 20 pounds in three weeks??!!!

Keep your attitude and you'll be done in no time!! Congratulations!

I didn't think it would be possible to lose that much in three weeks, but I think it has a lot to do with the water, and shakes only. It's really worked out great for me!

Star,
I bet you'll get right back on track. There's not a whole lot you can do when you get sick though, and it can really throw things off. I'll be cheering you on.
