Say whaaaaa? What could she mean?? What is so NOT worth it? I'll tell you...CHEATING!!! I went home to Idaho for Thanksgiving and for the first couple of days I did really well. I stayed on plan for every meal except dinner and even then I ate a lot less than I normally would. I was feeling really good until the actual Thanksgiving feast. I don't know what came over me, but I kind of lost it. It wasn't that I went overboard so much at that one meal, but the little bit I cheated at that meal opened the flood gates and the rest of my trip was downhill from there. I always think it will be so wonderful to eat whatever I want and that I will totally enjoy it. WRONG! I always feel so guilty while I am cheating that it takes all the fun out of the experience. So, after 4 days of eating whatever sounded good, I came home and promptly got back on plan. I didn't weigh when I got home because I didn't want to feel even worse. I do know this. I am only 1 more pound down from my first week making a grand total of 7 pounds in 18 days. The first time I did medifast I lost 9 pounds the first week. So, obviously that little "bender" was SO NOT worth it. In some ways I guess it was good for me to see just how much my actions effect this process and that I need to follow the rules or I won't see success. So, tonight I am experimenting with something I am hoping is delicious! If it is, I will share it asap! Hope you all have a wonderful night, and know this...you get out what you put in...you reap what you sew...you are what you eat!!!

I had a pretty similar experience over the holidays. My family came to stay with us for a week, and of course, took us out to eat daily. I have not ventured toward the scale since. We are back on to eating healthy, but its been hard to avoid the temptations we got used to giving into that week.
