Falling off the wagon

When I went to see the nutritionist for my two year follow-up she was aghast that I was on the Medifast diet. She said this was the sort of thing I needed to avoid because it did nothing to teach me how to eat and made me rely on artificial food.  Well, I suppose she was right. But now I'm floundering again. Last week, I gained three pounds.  And this was after starting a regular walking regimen. I walk at least 30 minutes every morning before work.  I need to concentrate more on my food consumption I guess.  And I've been getting progressively worse about drinking during meals. Gotta stop that. Also, I've been consuming a lot of caffeine.  I need to do something.  140 is the number on the scale that scares me and Wednesday it said 138. 218/208/138/110 4'11"

Hi Sheryl,  You know.. after reading your post.. I have nothing to add. Girl, you KNOW what you need to do... you just need the reassurance and the support to do it.  So let me tell you.. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!  Take that fear of the scale creeping upwards.. and use that as your motivation.  Also remember to eat enough so your body doesn't go into starvation mode.  Have you thought of food journeling while you go back to a "regular diet"  That might really help you to watch your intake too.  Good luck and keep us posted!!!
