My closest friend has doubts. She has concerns about my food choices. You see, it is about my obsessive compulsive self. I choose to eat the foods I like over and over. Her concern is what will I do after Medifast? I haven't given that much thought to tell the truth. I don't know what I will do. I have no plan at this point. My focus has been entirely on losing and not maintaining when done. I have had a long haul and I am not done yet. I have 38 more to lose. Probably 4 more months yet and maybe more. I can't worry about that yet because my FOCUS is loss. Maybe I should consider later, but right now, I just can't. I choose to eat foods I like. I love the cheese puffs, soup, and bars. It is really all I eat besides my lean and green. I eat what I like. I guess I don't see a huge problem with it at this point, but she is right about thinking about the future. I need to start working on a plan. Medifast does have a transition and maintenance phase. I am going to read more about that.
On another note, I spoke with the scheduler today about the breast reduction. It looks like it is a process. The first thing they do is review my case to see if I meet the qualifications. If I do, they will schedule a consultation. They have people booked already for the next two months, so it looks like it will be August or September. I worry I won't meet the qualifications. I would be so disappointed. I guess I would just have to see what it takes and do that to get qualified. I wont give up on this. It is just too important and I have worked too hard to see it fail.
I have read that some Medifast dieters go on WW when they reach their goal. I think that is a great idea. Good luck on the consultation.
ReplyDeleteOh, I saw your blog name over at the Summer slimmin' challenge. Glad to have another blogger on board. Let's encourage one another to lose this summer! And I hope everything sorts itself out well for your surgery.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely sounds like a good idea to review what sort of transitioning plan Medifast has so you see what's ahead a bit.
Welcome to the Challenge! Love the Churchil quote you have at the top of your blog!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to put up a badge to link back to the challenge, and outline the goals you have for the duration.
Good luck getting your operation sorted :)
