With My Tail Between My Legs...
I will be returning to Jenny Craig. All of this nonsense of me, trying to figure out how to lose weight the fastest, all in time for my wedding [that is rapidly approaching in 86 days] is making me sick! Enough already! Enough. The fact is, I don't cook, and I have an eating problem. I do not stop when my stomach tells me too, nor do I want to eat what is healthy for me. And I don't have the time or the patience to figure out what I should be eating! So, JC it is- again!
I started out on EP thru a recommendation from the JC message boards. I began JC in October 2005 at 213.2. I left JC in June 2006, having lost 39.9 pounds, but bored to tears with the food and I had also hit a plateau for about a month. I decided that I would try out WW for variety. Bad idea for me! Too many options, not enough discipline. WW lasted about 3 weeks for me.
My weight was holding steady for a while. Then, two short months later, DF asked me to marry him! All was great in the world! DF and I celebrated with dinners out and the devil- Cold Stone Creamery! We set the date for 9/14/07. The months started to tick by and I was gaining weight back. I told myself that I needed to start losing again so that I can start looking for my wedding gown! Well, time came and went, and in February 2007, I ordered my gown in a size 18. I was actually kind of impressed with this size since it wasn't too far from my street size which was 16, at that time.
Well, now it is less than 3 months till the wedding, and I have tried sticking to: the Atkins diet and the Soup diet, and what has happened? I have fallen off of the wagon yet again, and my weight is back up! As of yesterday, I am at 206 pounds! I hate it when I weigh more than DF. HATE IT! The stress of buying a house and paying for the wedding is too much to deal with, along with trying to eat healthy!
So, I am going back to where it all began. Jenny Craig, as many of you already know, takes the guesswork out of dieting. They literally tell you what to eat! And you just follow it and viola! You lose! Of course, exercising helps too! And I am hoping that my damn foot feels better soon so I can get on the treadmill-even if it is for 15 minutes! Luckily, since I paid for the Rewards Program, all I have to do is pay $99 to renew it [it has been over a year since my last consultation] and I will be back at receiving a 30% food discount! This, I am happy about!
My appointment is this Thursday, June 21st at 10am. I will be going to a different center- one that is closer to my house. And when I move next month, I will have to change again! But whatever! As long as I get back on the wagon. I am feeling totally out of control with my eating and really lacking focus. I know that I have a lot on my plate right now but I also know, that if I don’t try and lose some of this weight that I have allowed to return to my body, I will be miserable when I look at myself in my wedding gown. Bubbling back fat coming out of my strapless gown is not my idea of a pretty sight. I may be really ambitious, but I am hoping for at least a 25 lb loss by the time my wedding rolls around! Wish me luck people! I need all of the help I can get!! Until next time…
