It’s time for me to think about maintenance. I feel that I am nearing my ideal weight and feeling comfortable with myself. I ask myself “Am I ready?” and “Will I be able to add food items back into my diet slowly?” This is both exciting and scary at the same time.

Medifast makes it so easy to stick to the program that I feel like I need to go to a recovery program to start eating again LOL! Medifasters anonymous, maybe I should start a group :). In all seriousness, I have been referring to the Medifast diet book about maintenance and it talks about your mindset while coming off the 5&1 program. I think it will be a huge help to me and anyone else who feels ready.

If you haven’t read “The Secret Is Out…” yet, please get a copy! It is a great support especially on days when you are struggling and wanting to binge or have that snickers bar. I refer to it quite a bit. Oh and don’t sabotage yourself on Halloween! The best way to avoid diving into the candy bowl is buying candy you don’t like! I can’t stomach gummy worms and the kids love them so I buy those and that way I stay on track :)…
