It would be so much easier if we could be taken out of this world, wouldnt it? but our reality is...food is here to stay.

There will always be lite popcorn....it was there yesterday, it is here today and will be here tomorrow. Just for today....choose to not have any. Permit yourself to have some another time.

One day.....

It's the TV ADS that are getting to me!!! Geeez. I had no idea how MANY of them there are!! No wonder I was snacking all evening!

I think I'll take up a hobby.

I agree about TV. I think there should be a law. Lastnight, my first day, every commercial break had at least one commercial for fast food. With obesity running rampant in the U.S. maybe the gov should start regulating fast food or at least make them have an ending saying "these foods are not good for you, but we know you will eat them anyway - so enjoy".

I had to laugh about the popcorn...

I absolutely LOVE popcorn.

BM (Oh, that sounds sortta weird, eh? B.M. = Before Medifast!), I’d come home late on Wed. nights from work and have TWO bags of Butterlicious micro popcorn WITH additional melted butter. OK, I’ll come clean. I had ONE CUBE of melted butter on top of the Butterlicious Microwave popped corn.

Yup, Folks, I was a greasy-chinned girl!

To this day, I have NOT had ANY popcorn since I started on Medifast on July 16th, 2002. I’m not gonna go there. Just a personal decision. Oh, I certainly could have it, I just don’t need it now. I also haven’t been to a movie theater in years…I like wearing my size 6 pants too much to have a wad of pop corn...it just might be a detriment to me...

After falling off the bandwagon, I am recommitting myself to do better this week. The strawberry shakes are yummy. The thing is when I have been putting good stuff inside me like Medifast- the other stuff is starting to seem gross to me. My family ordered a pizza and just the look of it with all the grease was a little repulsive, not to my kids though. They love it so only let them have it, once or twice a month. Since I am on Medifast now we have been cooking alot at home which makes it easier on me-because I serve them then have my soup or shake.

Way to go Mena,
I doubt if there's anyone in here who hasn't fallen off the wagon before, and will probably fall off again. That's just part of being human. It's never too late to start or re-start.

Keep Shakin'

Hey, Mena ~

Great observation about how pizza and other foods look. Gosh, I have had pizza ONE time in 19 months because when I look at it, I picture hardened arteries.

My friend Steve had triple by-pass over a year ago and the anguish that was expressed by his family as they gathered in the waiting room and the stress my fam has been through due to my own Daddy's recent heart attack, etc. is further fuel to keep me away from pizza and the likes of other high-fat, high calorie foods.

AM I cured from ever having pizza again? Probably not but just seeing the grease is enough to keep my lips away from it!

When I was in the beginning stages of my weight loss journey and was tempted by foods that were on my forbidden list, I pictured them with cat doo or slime on them and then it was easier to walk away from them! I also visualized my new thin self wearing smaller size clothing and comfortably seated in an airplane…what did I want more? Pizza, hardened arteries, greasy chin or me in a bathing suit on a beach in Hawaii…
