3rd weigh in

I went to my 3rd weigh in today and I'm down another 3 pounds so, that is 10 and a half pounds in 3 weeks. I haven't really noticed it yet in my appearance or in my clothes, but other people have been making comments that they can see a difference. I'm still enjoying it and losing weight is a really good motivator.

I'm going camping tomorrow and I am soooo looking forward to that. I think I'm going to do okay. I might drink or eat something I shouldn't, but I'm going to try and fight it. If I do cheat however, I'm learning that it's not the end of the world, but that it will just take that much long to lose the weight I want to lose.

Camping and Jenny

It's the middle of the week and I'm getting really excited about going camping next week. I wasn't sure how I was going to plan my week because I won’t have access to a microwave for my Jenny food, but the Jenny reps told me not to worry and to just plan my meal and try as much as possible to stick to the plan. I think I'm going to be okay. I've already started planning and I think I'm going to be okay.

I'm really enjoying being on Jenny. I don't really have to worry about food and I'm learning so much about portion control. I really think that this is going to work for me for the long term. I know this is my first real attempt at losing a significant amount of weight and that most people will gain it back, but I went into this already a vegetarian and knowing so much about nutrition already. I was already eating health; I just needed to learn to eat consistently and to learn portion control.

2nd weigh in

This week was harder then last, but only because their was a death in the family. I did however lose 5 more pounds, bringing my total to 8 pounds in 2 weeks. I'm very proud of myself that I have been able to stick to it for 2 weeks. I'm still feeling strong, that I will see this through to the end.

Feeling good...

It's been just under two weeks so far and I feel like I've lost weight. I don't allow myself to weigh myself during the week. Instead I wait for the weekly weigh in's at Jenny. I'm excited to see how much I've lost. I'm really struggling to eat all the food they need me to eat, their just isn't enough hours in the day. I know that sounds bizarre, because most people say it's not enough food. This was my problem before I joined Jenny, I was down to 2 meals a day and sometimes I would snack. The key to weight lose as I'm finding out is to eat consistently throughout the day and small portions. It sounds simple, but it's a lot of work; you are forced to think about food all the time. It does suck for me though because I'm a vegetarian. I don't have as many choices for the food and I'm already starting to get bored. Because I'm a vegetarian I mostly have to choose there pasta and I wasn't a big pasta fan to begin with. I much prefer fresh low carb foods. I'm looking forward to getting off the Jenny food and cooking for myself, but I know I have to stick with it for now to train my body on what's an appropriate amount of food to eat in a day.

First Jenny weigh in

Well today was my first weigh in at Jenny. I find it unbelievable, but I’ve lost 2.8 pounds in 5 days. Words can’t even describe how that made me feel. I really didn’t think it was possible, because I felt like I was just eating way too much to ever lose weight. I’m really happy right now and motivated to keep going.

I’m also heading up to the cottage for the weekend, so that might also be contributing to my good mood, that and the weather is gorgeous today.

I started...

Soooo…I started Jenny on Monday, June 11. Today is the end of my second day. I’ve been enjoying it and I have a lot of support from my friends and family. It’s really weird though, I can’t figure out how I’m supposed to lose weight when you are constantly eating. I’m a little skeptical to tell you the truth, but I’ve seen it work on other people. I guess time will tell. I’m feeling really good right now, other than money I have everything in place and I’m happy.

Decision time

Okay, so right now there are 3 close people in my life that have joined Jenny Craig. I have a consultation on Sunday, to see if it's something that I would be interested in or can afford. I think I'm actually affraid of losing a significant amount of weight. It's almost like my security blanket. I mean I've been over weight since I can remember. It's who I am, it's how I became me. Now if I join and do this and lose a lot of weight, I'm scared of how it will change me or how insecure I will feel. I know that sounds weird, but i'm secure with who I am now. It took a lot of time, but I did it. I know that when I meet someone new, that they like me for me and if I were to lose a lot of weight and become someone completly different to look at then things will be different. I don't know I'm just fretting. Maybe I'm using it as an excuse that to not go through with this. Well I guess well see.

A little about me and moving on...

Things are looking up and seem to be going my way. I love my job and I'm starting to finally get my finances in order. I'm hoping to buy my first place in the next year and I have great friends. I guess the only place I'm lacking is my love life or should I say lack there of. I just ended a 5 year friendship with someone I fell in love with the moment I met him. The problem was that he came out of the closet about 9 months after I met him, that and he has some mental issue. Mental illness runs in his family and I always thought that he would change or that I could change him (like most women). I couldn't, of course I couldn't. I still love him and I still want him in my life, but its just to hard for me. He's what people would call toxic. He's toxic for himself and everyone around him. Also when I told him I just could do this friendship anymore, he said that was okay and he's never contacted me since. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, considering he lives in his own world and the only thing he cares about is himself. But I think that is what that hurt the most, the fact that he didn't care enough to fight, to hold on, to want to keep me in his life. I've finally come to the realization that the friendship was only held together by me and my love for him. The only problem is, is that I wasted 5 years from 21 to 26 loving him and being with him. I know that wasn't his fault and that it was my choice, but it still makes my a little angry. I'm slowly getting over the whole thing and like I said things are looking up and I'm moving on.
