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"

Everyone at times falls off the wagon. Maybe take the time to write down all you eat and try hard not to have bad carbs, and eat the protein first. You have come too far to go backwards!!! Keep posting you can do this!~Ann

How did you get on the medifast diet to begin with? I have the same NUT and I don't agree with her mostly. I do think you will feel better eating real food and it might be a struggle to deal with it in the beginning. PM me if you want to talk more at length. I am actually in Madison now at the National Women's music festival and will be here through mid day Sunday. We will be going to Trader Joe's around 11 and then taking off for Rockford. Wish I had known you live so close. Connie
