Well it’s been quite a while since my last blog post. 5 months. Wow, I can’t believe that much time has gone by. I figured I would give some updates and share some light on the things going on in my life. First, I am no longer a brunette! I have crossed over to the lighter side of life and I love it. I felt that after such a transformation, I needed one last big change.
I have found myself at a slow losing standstill. You can look at it two ways. Most days I stay right where I am. I have only lost a little over three pounds in five months. The way I look at it, is many of my fears have been conquered. I always feared the time I would be satisfied with myself and start to deter away from the program. Five months ago I also met my boyfriend (whom I live with now, and cook for every night). There’s always fear of that “comfort weight” we tend to gain when we are settled and cozy in a relationship. He also is pretty fit and athletic and eats pretty much whatever he wants whenever he wants. Five months I have made it. Cooking for him, feeling comfortable with my body, and taking most weekends to completely go off Medifast. Not only have I made that transition I have managed to lose a bit along the way.
I still need to do some internal work. Some days I wake up and I have the same self esteem as I did at the beginning of all this. It really is hard for me to see myself the way I really look. I know that is all mental and something I really need to work on. I should be beaming with pride and love for myself. That is going to be a daily process and not something that I like to admit. I felt it was something I should share, in case someone else out there is struggling with the same thing.
I do stay pretty strict on Medifast during the weekdays. I like how it fits in with my schedule and keeps our meals pretty rounded out and healthy during the weekdays. I also have continued on my journey of being a health coach for Medifast. I like staying close to the program. It makes it easier to relate to my clients. My business is growing slowly but every time I sign a client up, I smile and cross my fingers that this is the start of a new life for them.
Here’s some more updated pictures! I promise my next blog post will be sooner than five months apart! Keep up the great work everyone. Like I tell all my clients and myself regularly. Any goal you set out for yourself is attainable.
