The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

Hi everyone!

I haven't posted in a while, but have been reading all the encouraging posts. I am humbly and meekly returning to the full Medifast program after a two-month hiatus. I decided after 7 months to "take a break" after feeling I might be where I should be weight-wise and control-wise. I was kidding myself. My resolve was strong for about a month, but slowly weakened and I found myself gaining some of the 127 pounds I had lost. It was so easy to revert to old habits. I feel angry and frsutrated at myself and fear I may not be able to be successful again. I am starting over again today and am praying I can lose the rest of the 40 pounds I need to lose. I know, now more than ever, that healthy choices HAVE to be my goal from now on-I cannot go back to the old way of living. I will make this board a part of my daily routine and glean the support I need. We are all in this together. Thanks for being there!

Hi Swedishgirl,

Wow! 127 pounds lost? Fantastic! Don't be so tough on yourself. I have a feeling maintenance is the hardest part of keeping this weight off. After all, we're having to completely re-educate ourselves on how much, when, and what to eat after a lifetime of bad habits. Of course, they're hard to break. Losing is probably the easy part. I'll be doing maintenance in the next couple of months. Believe me, I'm nervous about it. Hopefully I too will have the good judgment and discipline to come back to MF like you have if I gain some that I have lost . Heck, 40 pounds is nothing. You can do that in a snap after 127. Hope you visit often. Sharing your experiences in the maintenance phase would sure be helpful. Come on aboard the train to thinville! Happy to meet you!

A MF Pal,
Camille
