I have always been the kind of person who steps on the scale daily, so I can watch and learn my body’s patterns. I tend to hold on to weight as long as possible and then one day there are four pounds gone. Since starting Medifast this pattern is even more present. I will be the same weight for three or four days and then all the sudden the next morning I am three pounds lighter, which at some times can be great or discouraging. But this morning was one of the mornings that I have gotten on the scale and it was a couple pounds lighter. YEA ME!!!

Medifast is working. The weight that I have lost will not be coming back. I refuse to even think of it coming back. I was thinking last night about how much I still have to lose, and figured that it’s twice as much as my three year old daughter weighs. I kind of got excited and at the same time a little upset. I mean I was thinking on one hand “What am I going to look like with the weight of two of my daughters gone off my body!!!” and then on the other hand “O-my-god, that is a lot of weight”.

One thing that has helped me get through a couple times during this past couple weeks, is the amazing support offered at MyMedifast.com. I love reading how other people are doing and how much they have lost and continue losing. Everything offered at this website is amazing, and it’s neat to know that you have that kind of support system behind you.

I know that I am going to make my goal. Sometimes, I don’t lose as much as I want at weigh-in and sometimes it surprises me, but I know that my body is losing weight at a healthy speed due to the wonderful Medifast Program. One thing that I have figured out is that Medifast makes me already feel so much healthier. I wake up in the morning knowing that today I am going to do something good for my body, and I fall asleep at night with the acknowledgment that I have successfully completed one more day. That is how I have to do things, one day at a time and sometimes I do it one hour at a time. Whatever works to make sure that I successfully complete my day.

Until next time…
