My week three with Jenny Craig was awful. I'm not sure what went wrong really other than one day I ended up dumping my lunch by accident and I freaked out and ran to Taco Bell. After my Weigh-in and losing 3 more lbs I figured we can celebrate and we ordered pizza. Something my husband and I would do usually like weekly. Well then the next day we went out to I Love Teriyaki ...that place is amazing. Then ordered chinese, and yes even went to Carl's Junior and I think another trip to Taco Bell was in there again. Wow I was spiraling down and spiraling fast.
So I ended up reaching out for support on the Jenny forums for help and suggestions. With their help, my JCC's help I have been on plan for 3 days straight and today is a new day. I did have a small gain of less than 2lbs but that is okay. I know it wont be perfect all the time and you know what?? I can handle that.
This is a work in progress for the rest of my life.
I have roughly 150 pounds to lose with my ultimate goal. Only 117 pounds with my Jenny goal. That is an entire person. It is a shame that it has gotten this bad. But, I am miserable. My husband and I are trying to have our first child together and my weight is stomping that option out right now.
As I drink what seems like a million glasses of water a day and run to the bathroom a million times a day/night I know this is all worth it in the end. Just have to get in the right mindset for sure.
I've had my tough weeks too, I totally get it. This week, for example, was FAR from stellar.
ReplyDeleteAmongst all of it, my advice to you is to remember to be kind to yourself. If nothing else, do this for yourself. I think a lot of my overeating and indulging is made TEN TIMES worse by the way I mentally react to it. Beating myself up for the incident, as opposed to re-setting and moving forward.
Just my two cents today... Hang in there! You can do this!!! :)
Thank you so much! I am doing this for myself. I have always been overweight and I deserve to be happy and healthy. I know I will have rough days and rough weeks but I can't wait to see the end result. I'm always amazed by your pictures. You were beautiful before and amazed at the change. I can't wait for the day I can post before and after pictures like yours! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm honored that you'd be willing to share your story with me (and any others that are following.)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures will be equally beautiful... it's like we're just peeling off layers that cover it all up.
Best of luck to you, dear!!! And... STAY AWAY FROM MANGOES!
