I haven’t been around as I was recently in a car accident. It wasn’t a horrific accident by any means but I am sore never-the-less. I have to admit that during the hectic events of the last week or so I haven’t been on the Medifast Program. I fell off the wagon so to speak under the stress of some life events and found myself eating for emotional reasons. I didn’t go insane and start binging what-so-ever, I just failed to follow the program.

The good news is, I find myself eating a lot less and a lot smaller portions these days, and during me week off of Medifast I didn’t gain back a single pound!

Rather than fool myself into thinking I’m okay off the program, I have started right back up to ensure I can get down to my goal weight. I think it was good to have a short break for a couple of reasons, if for no other reason then to learn a quick life lesson. I was able to quickly identify my emotional eating and keep it under control and I know that I am not punishing myself for stumbles along the way, but rather taking each day as it comes.

I think if this had happened on any other plan or before I started Medifast I would have binge eaten my way back up to 350lbs! Anyway, I will be back and posting regularly and hope to hear from you all in the future!
