Food, glorious food!
We're anxious to try it.
Three banquets a day --
Our favourite diet!....
- Oliver
What is it about food that draws us in? Today is day two of my Medifast diet and I struggled yesterday, but stuck to it. I wasn't the least bit hungry, BUT, I was struggling with psychological draws to foods at times. I missed TV with a bag of pretzels, I missed having something other then a shake or salad for lunch.
So this weight problem definately is not a hunger issue, it is a psychological issue for me. It is much like quitting smoking, however with food, you need to eat! So much harder to get under control.
I have a year to lose 75 lbs in time for my wedding. I can do this! This needs to be a lifestyle change for me, not a diet. I need to relearn that food is fuel, nothing more. It can no longer comfort me or occupy my time. I must find other ways to do that.
Does anyone else struggle with triggers for food? If so, what are yours and how do you cope with them?

Just comin' by from the Papertrey group.... Not sure which one Medifast is, but I've stuggled with weight all my life. Lost 145 pounds 2 years ago doing low-carb/high-protein. I'm doing it again now to lose weight again. For me it's carbs - I get those out of my system and I don't crave them and I am on the straight and narrow - - good luck!
I also need to loose weight, I am doing the cereal k with my husband, so far he lost a lot and me: zero. I have a friend who has been in the medifast diet and she has lost a lot of weight, she mixes it with some wii exercise, and it's happening for her. Hang in there I know it's hard but you have a wonderful motivation!!
