Considering A Change In My Program

I’ve been pretty well unable to stick to my plan for even a day lately. Not sure what it is, my annoyance over being told things that don’t seem to make sense, or having to buy products with aspartame, or what.

I’m considering changing to Medifast, I have been reading a lot about it and I’m thinking even a month on it could help me to get back in control. I’m thinking of going and getting weighed in during that month, so I can really see what is happening. Will MRC weigh me if I consistently don’t bring in my food journal? I don’t know…

Anyway, I’m really tired of some of the perky peppy people at my Center. I know that’s a terrible thing to say, but there is this one woman - and she’s the one to weigh me, a lot - and every time she pours over my food journal , fairly panting in her haste to tell me something to change - I just want to go to a drive through. And I have, at least once, directly after the weigh in. Which is a concern. Even when I was consistently losing, she was driving me nuts (”You are eating large eggs? You’re supposed to be eating medium eggs!” ) and really pushing the supplements…

I also really hate the rigidity.  It’s funny to me that Medifast seems more flexible to me than MRC at the current moment.  Having to eat 6 oz of meat at a sitting, when many places offer a 4 oz portion, has become a total trial to me.  And having to find a piece of fruit for lunch is a pain in the patooty.   And then, of course, there’s the diet quiz - from the book they themselves gave me.  I went to the website associated with the 100 Days of Dieting Book and took the diet quiz - and it came up Medifast.  And I fought against it and then just started reading all the support stuff about it, and I really think that when I get back from my business trip, Memorial Day weekend,  it will be time to start.  If I order my month worth of stuff on Thursday when I get paid, it should be here by the time I return.

Meantime, of course, I wish I could start now - and I’ve actually eaten better so far today than in the past few weeks.  And had more water.  Odd.

I love all the people on my MRC forum, it will be hard to give them up.  The Medifast forum isn’t nearly as chatty.
