As I mention briefly in an earlier post, I had joined Jenny Craig a couple of weeks ago. Tomorrow starts my 3rd week on the program. I lost 2 1/2 lbs my first week on it and today when I weighed in I didn't lose or gain, still not bad. To me this program is a "no brainer" because the food is provided for you which I LOVE but, they are portion controlled meals. Dont get me wrong, 98% of the food is delicious but, I'm HUNGRY. It's actually harder to focus than I thought and not OD on food because if you know me, I loves to eat. Even the snacks are cute, tiny and takes two bites to consume. But I realized that the trick is to nibble like its your last meal. I just need to focus harder because:
1. It's a little costly but it evens out when you like to eat out all the time
2. I'm tired of my what I look/feel like with my weight,tired of having no control, and
3. I get my full membership $ back if reach my goal weight after a year of starting the program (or something along those lines)...BOOYAH!!!
On a serious tip, I have tried everything or a lot of different things except lipo. Now, please understand that I'm not trying to be a skinny chick (no offense to skinny chicks). I love my thickness but I just want and need to get rid of the extra baggage I am carrying on my poor little size 6 feet and stop feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. It's not cute when you burn holes in the inner thigh area of your jeans and have muffin tops even though I try to keep it tight with a girdle. Apparently the older I have gotten, the less active I have become other than raising my hand to put food in my mouth. Although my weight can sometimes be a sensitive topic, I am gonna put myself on BLAST because this situation is on the list of me finding and maintaining my happy. My current weight is in the 160's...and my goal is to lose at least 30 lbs. I am supposed to lose 2lbs a week. So I decide to keep you posted on my journey to healthier looking me and also post pics of the transformation along the way. Maybe this will help give me incentive to shed the lbs.
Being extra thick never stopped me from dressing my butt off. It just became a challenge for me to still be and look like a diva which I think I accomplished very nicely. If I was taller I wouldn't mind the weight but I just want to drop a couple of sizes, have a flatter stomach, toner forearms and thighs so I can wear shorts and sleeveless shirts comfortably. Is that too much to ask for??? I am determined to make this program work because I did invest a pretty little penny in it with my unemployed self and I usually give up on it easily, especially if there isn't any rapid results. I want this time to be different. Well, wish me well!
Smoochez,
E.
