How Tiffany Got Her Groove Back. Week #2

When I re-started this Medifast journey, I honestly wasn’t sure if it would work for me, again.  Or, if I deserved for it to work again.  There is a lot of shame in losing weight and regaining even some of it…and I gained back nearly half.   I have been carrying that shame around for about 6 months and the thought of starting again seemed so daunting, at first. 

Medifast blew my mind with how well it worked the first time & how easy it was for me to stick to their 5n1 plan.  I consider myself a very busy person, working full time, running around my son who is currently playing three sports and racing my daughter to gymnastics and dance lessons twice a week…and Medifast has always been able to fit into my lifestyle. 

I also wasn’t sure if I could mentally get in the groove again. Like I said, it seemed so daunting.  And, re-starting seemed like admitting failure, publicly, and I wasn’t sure I was ready to do that.  But, I had to.  I had to come back here and show myself and everyone else that I can do it.   I can hit my goal weight and maintain, through Medifast. 

And I will.

It has taken me a little while to find my groove – perhaps even in just the last few days.  But, I’m happy to report that I feel it again.  That spark is there.  And, the scale is surely helping fuel my fire, again.  

I lost another 2.4 pounds this week.  Which, doesn’t sound like much but I cheated on Monday (My dad was taken to the hospital with chest pains and I sat there for hours on end and didn’t pay attention to my mindless eating.) and then again on Saturday, when we took  my dad out to dinner for his birthday.  We felt like we really needed to celebrate after the week he had, and  I tried to stay on plan, but I did overeat, which still isn’t healthy. 

I’m a work in progress. 

I keep reminding myself, “Do not reward yourself with food, you’re not a dog.”  But, it’s a hard habit to break after nearly 30 years of all celebrations including delicious food.

That being said,  2.4 pounds is a victory!  And, I have high hopes for this week…because, like I said, I really feel like I’ve found my groove, again.  

Weight Lost: 5.4

Weight Left to Lose:   46.2
