It has been an eventful week. I am not ashamed to say that this week I strayed from the program. We visited some theme parks and things for my son's birthday, and since it is very rare we go anywhere like that, I decided that I wanted to take part just like the rest of the family, so I indulged in some of the food there.
While I did eat some treats and not so diet foods, and I did not restrict myself, I was still very good on my portions. After being on the program for so long, I am used to eating the correct amounts, so I did not feel the need to gorge myself just because I can.
Basically, I cheated each day for 4 days straight, and then I got right back on track. It was not hard at all. I never felt like I had failed on my plan in any way, and I did not feel deprived by getting back to my Nutrisystem routine.
In fact, I am proud of myself for knowing my limits, for still being smart while indulging, and for being able to take a diet break without breaking my diet(if that makes sense).
Not only did I not lose focus or gain any of the weight back, I continued to lose. I think that the change might have even surprised my metabolism and made it kick it up a notch.
Since I have only 4 weeks left on the Nutrisystem program, it was very important for me to be able to be in the real(non diet) world once in awhile and handle it accordingly. I feel that I did an excellent job, and I have more confidence than ever in my ability to make this a permanent change.
Nutrisystem is more than a diet, it is a way of life. Nutrisystem is the first program I have tried that has actually worked(for me), and it is the first one to teach me a new way to live every day. That is why it works so well.
Nutrisystem is real food, real portions, really fast, really easy and really tasty, and really healthy. Some diets just starve the weight off for awhile, and when you eat normally again, you gain it all back. That is not healthy and it is not a smart way to really make a change in your weight.
Nutrisystem gives you everything you need while you are on the program, and all the knowledge you need for the rest of your life.
Now that I am back to business, I am eating so well. I get three delicious meals(to which I can add unlimited veggies), two add-in snacks(Smart Carbs and Power Fuels) and a fabulous dessert every single day.
I am about to eat my dinner which will be Turkey with Stuffing and Gravy. I am adding a side of steamed carrots. I will follow that with dessert, a delicious Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
But with any weight loss plan, it is all about the results, and Nutrisystem delivers. This week, even with the splurging, my total progress is still growing.
I lost another...
.8 Pounds and and 1/4 inch!
That raises my 24 week total to...
51 Pounds and 24 1/2 inches!!
I love this program so much. This is the best thing I have ever done to better myself, and I feel great. So glad I gave Nutrisystem a chance.
