The Transformation!! : My Nutrisystem Journey Week 7/8



I almost can't believe I am doing this post! I am one that is a little modest, and reserved so me revealing is huge. But hey, I know someone else feels this way, and they want change, so I want to be an example not only for them, but to know that it can be done, and to not lose all hope.

When I started this journey I had just completed a 3 month exercise program. Yes, that's right Week 1 was AFTER a grueling 3 months of working out. I had only lost 8 pounds during that time. What was the factor for me was that even though I was working out, I was not eating the best. I was eating better, but not the best that I could. And because I am so busy, and run a business I needed something quick at times, and a stop at McDonald's was sometimes the quickest. So, I need a jumpstart to something that would work for me and my hectic lifestyle.

So, here came Nutrisystem. I knew that they had prepackaged food, and I saw so many great results from others, that I knew I had to try. Could I look just as great? I was a little skeptical, because no great thing comes easy. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I started on Nutrisystem's Basic Plan (NSdiet15). Not only was the food better than I thought, but the convenience is wonderful. Now I know it's not all about the convenience, however at least to get started I need something easy and accessible. On a weekend morning when I'm off to see clients, I just toss a breakfast and a snack in my bag, and I'm on my way. How great is that! Yes, I cheat..but my cheat, is for no deprivation. I can't deprive myself. But in stead of eating 5 Cheese Puffs, I may only have 1. But i'm satisfied.

Granted, I'm only a little more than half way through my program, but I feel amazing. I have gone from a size 12, down to a size 8..! I am comfortable right now where I am , but if I can lose another size that would be great as well. I have 4 more weeks on the program, so I have ways to go, but I know even if I don't meet my goal, I feel healthier, and feel great about how far I have come.

Nutrisystem, yes, has changed my lifestyle, and in turn changed how I feel not only about myself, but about life. I know that I can make a difference, be a difference, and be hope for others. It works!
