The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

Hey everybody....I introduced myself a few weeks ago but have been busy with the end of the school year (I am a schoolteacher) and haven't been able to come online much nor stay focused on my program. I am back and ready to start on the road to weight loss again using Medifast.

I do get frustrated with myself for not sticking to the program consistently. But I have a new resolve today and am determined to get this weight off. I lost over 20 lbs at the beginning of the year (not using Medifast) and it occurred to me this morning that I had lost sight of my daily motto: "One Choice at a Time". For me, it's not one week at a time or even one day at a time, it is choice by choice. Before I make any decisions regarding food, I must decide if this choice will get me the results I want.

I have the power to choose. If I make the "not-so-good" choice then I must accept the outcome. I have made plenty of those types of choices the last few weeks and even though I have maintained my weight, I am not losing which is the outcome I want. So beginning right this moment, I am resolving to evaluate each of the choices I make today BEFORE I make them to see whether or not they will help me achieve my goals.

I really think that by breaking it down to each choice instead of focusing so much on the long term will help me. I am going to get a picture of me at my goal weight and post it all over the house so I can remember what I am working for. Then before each choice I make, I can look at that picture and decide which road to take.

Thanks so much for listening...hopefully I can be a more active participant on this forum now that school is out.

Kim,

Thanks for sharing your motto. I agree that each choice we make leads to a consequence.

Stay on the boards for great motivation and you will have more willpower to make better choices. Hope to see you on the boards.

Hi Kim,

You must be relieved that school is almost out , my mom is a teacher she just retired earlier in the year and I always remember her on the last day of school she was happier then the rest of the students to start the summer break…..congrats and enjoy .
As for me I recently got sidetracked with Medifast and got back on track last week… I really like what you said about one choice at a time, for me I know this thought helped getting back and with each good choice my confidence has grown and Im back on track to thinville Glad that your doing the same and I look fw to chatting with you
