Hi friends! Medifast sure is teaching me a lot about myself and others. I realized that my life was truly centered around food. It’s like I would plan what I was going to eat for the next day the night before! This may sound crazy but it’s true. I would think “I haven’t had Mexican food for a while” and would plan my meal in my mind. I would think of friends to call that like Mexican food and would be more than willing to overeat with me!

I have a fabulous friend who is getting gastric bypass surgery this year, she is at the end of her rope and has tried everything. Well, except Medifast, but she is so discouraged that she is just going to do it. I realize now that I am being a good example to her and others by making healthy choices and taking control of my weight. I think of the saying “Misery loves company” and that is what I was doing!

But with Medifast, I don’t have to think, I can’t sway from it, I grab 5 packets and that is what I am having today. I am being supportive of her because we all have to find our own path and if I preach to her too much it could cause bad feelings. Here I am struggling to lose my pesky 40 lbs and others have over 100+ pounds to lose. Well, there is hope! Just look at the success stories on here…
