10 REASONS WHY I NEED TO DO MEDIFAST

1.) I am FAT
2.) Matthew is Heavy, and I am to blame. I am not setting a good example for my son.
3.) I am tired of people looking at me like I have 2 heads.
4.) I am tired of going into restaurants and have to sit at a table and not a booth
5.) I have only 2 pair of pants that I can fit into (and they are tight)
6.) I do not want to look like a beached whale during the summer.
7.) I am turning into my mother. And my mom died at the age of 57 (massive heart attack)(her eating is the way I am eating now horrible)
8.) I can not even walk up a flight of steps with out being out of breath
9.) I want to be able to cut my hair short, It looks really cute when I am thinner.
10.) Most of all I am not happy with myself, I am disappointed and Depressed.

Katie, when I made a list, such as you did..it was the nudge that I needed to make some healthier choices. I pray your list will give you the nudge you are looking for.

January 1st 2010 253.4
So I tried to start a couple of weeks ago, But I failed, work was extremely busy, I had so manyChristmas parties to attend with work and all. And then going in to the restaurants every single day was horrific. Then I had my family over for 3 days and there was just so much food.

But there is some good news. I gave up caffeine about 2 months ago and I feel Great so I decided to give up my decaf coffee and my caffeine free soda as of today. I mean seriously whats the point in having it. The only reason I drank it was for the caffeine. I mean I do like the flavor of coffee but I drink it with cream. So why do I need those extra calories. So the only thing that is going to go in my body is Medifast, water and my lean green.

With giving up the caffeine I sleep awesome. I Have never slept as good as I do now.

Well off to make my first shake

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE

Great for you giving up caffeine! One of my last vices! I don't drink as much coffee as I used to but I still have 2-3 cups a day and have green tea as well.

Katie,

I'm pulling for you!

Great for you giving up caffeine! One of my last vices! I don't drink as much coffee as I used to but I still have 2-3 cups a day and have green tea as well.

I was drinking a pot a day, if not more. Then my husband kind of put me in my place. I would go to bed at 9:30 and be wide awake at 12, and then in the morning I would be so miserable. So I decided to give up my afternoon coffee. Still would go to be around 9:30 and be asleep by 10:15. So I said to myself if I can give up my afternoon coffee let me see if I can just switch to decaf. And I did. Go to bed at 9:30, and my husband said I would be snoring by 9:32. I also wake up earlier. So I figured let me just give it up all together.

3rd shake down. No headaches yet. Feeling pretty good. 64 oz water down 64 oz of water to go.

I don't have a headache yet either and I have been up since 4:30am. I am okay too. No "symptoms" yet. Last time I had stomach problems the first few days but fine today. Glad we're both doing so well!!!!!

[oksoonergirl26]

Wow! I can't even imagine giving up the caffeine-I just recently discovered that I LOVE coffee and I am drinking about 4-6 cups a day with some tea as well. I hope everything goes well for you Katie! Enjoy your shake.

January 2 2010 Day 2,

Have a little headache. But I am going strong. Just finished my Hot chocolate. Thank goodness for Hot Chocolate, if I did not have them and the dutch choc, I do not think I could Do medifast.

Yesterday was good. In the past I have always done a 6-0, and yesterday I said to myself that I would do a 5-1. Well that didn't happen. I was making Ceasar salad for Matthew and john, and I realized the one dressing that I was going to use has too many carbs. I was not happy. I know this is going to sound weird but when I cook I have to have full flavor of everything. I just can not eat things plain. And fresh herbs and spices do not do it justice. I thought the carb was under 7 when in actuality it is less then 6. And the dressing that I picked up at the store was 7. I really do not like the Walden Farms products, even when I am full force on program. It just taste really fake to me.

Well anyways I did the 6-0 yesterday had my pickle spears and 2 pieces of my sugarless peppermint gum and my gallon of water.

Today is going to be a great day..... On my way to victory.

[bikipatra]

Sounds like you're doing great. I had my pickles yesterday too but did a 5-1. I also had my celery but no gum. I am also gratetful for the chocolate products!

[katieb920]

biki,

Have you tried the new bars.... OMG my favorite one is the choc peanute butter bar. And they have the Nacho cheese puffs. They are expensive, and I do have them but I really only use them for emergenicies, like when I feel like I am going to cheet.

Well off to do a whole bunch of nothing today. I am just going to relax. I will probably be on here like 30 times a day.

[bikipatra]

I can't do bars. They are cheat triggers for me. I have tried several times to "manage" my program on bars and I just lose control. It's so silly but I just turn into a BAR monster.

January 3, 2010 Day 3

Going Pretty good,

Had a headache all day yesterday. At least I know it is not from coffee withdrawls.

So for the past 3 days the only thing I am drinking is water and seltzer water. I drink 1 gallon of water a day. I am feeling really good today. I know I am not over the hump just yet.

Yesterday was the first time on Medifast that I had a lean grean. Usually I do the 6-0. OMG my salad was awesome. I had 3 cups of lettuce, and I had the tyson chicken strips. And I found a Lite Ranch dressing that is awesome. It is made by wishbone.

tonight is going to be extremely hard. We are having company over for the Eagles - Cowgirl game. My sons friends come over and are like can you be my mom. I make these awesome appitizers for them.

Last nite I am in bed reading, and I am saying to myself, I am really hungry. Well stupid me I forgot to have my last supplement. So I went and had a bar. Usually I save my bars but I really did not want to make a shake.

Well anyways Going to make appetizers

I will check in later
