Hi everyone!
I'm still using MF products (off and on) and still working on learning to keep the weight off. I am a compulsive overeater and am eager for the day when I can introduce myself, on sites like this, as a 'compulsive overeater who has maintained at goal for x years now'.
I know I'll get there, but sure wish I were able to say those words now.
I have been successful in keeping quite a bit of my weight loss off since reaching goal (for the first time) in 2007 using Medifast products. Since reaching goal I've regained 20-30+ pounds a few times. Not good for the body either mentally or physically. Thankfully I have never regained all my weight before reining myself in and getting back on program.
I am a work in progress.
Right now I am 24# above my goal. I know I will get this regained weight back off (hey, Medifast works) and I am determined to learn the tools needed so that regaining weight (more than 3-5#) will be a thing of the past. Eating in moderation....I must have slept through that class.
I just wanted to check in and keep things truthful & real in my journal.
No one said losing weight & learning how to deal with life, eating, emotions (without food) would be easy--but it sure is a worthwhile endeavor.
