I don't know if I would say I was "scared", I think very apprehensive would be a better way to describe my feelings. I had tried so many things in the past, just like so many others here, and nothing else had worked. So why would medifast be any different? It is SO different. It actually works, It works without starving yourself, it works without strenuous excercise, it just works. I have been on the program for 7 weeks now, and have lost 29 lbs. Just hoping to at least drop that 1 lb for the week so Unca can put me in the 30 club. My weight loss has really slowed down alot lately, but on the 9th day of being on my program, I thought,"Oh, what the heck, I probably havent even lost that much, but I'll weigh anyway." I got on there, and was down 13 lbs in only 9 days! I couldnt believe it!!! So, you may be scared now, and with good reason. All I can say is don't be. Because if you are faithful to the program, the results you will see after the 1st week or so, the pride you will feel for yourself will completely"out-weigh" any feelings of fear that you experienced in the beginning. So, keep thinking of how proud you will be when you start to lose weight. But you really should be proud of yourself right now, because you are chosing to change your life for the better, and that is SOMETHING! We are all stronger than we give ourselves credit for. We can do this!I guess the most scary thing for me has been Movie Theatres! I have been avoiding movie theatres since I started this diet 7 weeks ago. Well, my kids are on spring break, and my son begged me to go see a movie with him. I figured I would be ok, I could avoid all those wonderful popcorn, hot dog, and pretzel smells, I would just bring a bar with me, and it would be ok. Well, I went off and forgot my bar!!!! I was so hungry by the time the movie was over, but did not cheat. As soon as I got home, I had my bar, and all was good. Just thought Id share that little incident with ya'll. I think I should keep a supply of bars in my car for such emergencies.
