I love losing weight when I’m not even trying. This is a rare occurrence indeed. The fact that I haven’t been paying attention to my weight is remarkable in itself. Perhaps, this is the way to go - not think about my weight, dieting and the seemingly endless battle. But, not thinking about my weight or dieting is almost impossible. I’m obsessed. We’ve really cut back on our dining out lately - that could account for some of the weightloss. I’ve also been eating a very healthy breakfast… no more bagels with cream cheese for me. And lunch has become very simple, either a weightloss shake or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich - Crazy Richard’s Natural PB, sugar-free jelly on whole wheat bread - one of my favorites. Now, that I’ve lost a few pounds - 4 - this should be inspiration to keep it going. What am I going to do to keep this momentum?
I’ve been considering Jenny Craig. I’ve done it in the past with a lot of success. It requires very little thinking; the food is yummy; but it does cost a bunch. Anything that I attempt on my own I feel is destined to fail. I spend so much time working, that I often forget to eat, let alone plan and prepare meals. And when I realize the time… it’s usually because I’m starving. Then I eat crap. It’s easy, always available and requires so little of me.

I have struggled for years and years to loose weight — the current diet I’m on I started Mar. 1 2006 - so far so good - very very very slow but at least I’ve lost some. A friend and I keep a blog of our ongoing quest for getting healthy. I really like your blog and the art work is nice touch! Lady Rose
Sound like Jenny Craig may be just what you need. I have been doing good with fresh fruit and frozen veggies and Extend Bars - easy to grab and very little time to heat up the veggies. Lady Rose
I’m signing up for Jenny Craig today - I have to do something!!!
or, at least tomorrow… I think it’s too late tonight.
[…] All that being said, it gives me one more reason and a few more days to put off getting serious about loosing this weight - which I’ve acquired quite a bit of since I started this weight loss and diet program review blog. But, as soon as we’re back from Canada - I’ll will be calling Jenny Craig. Not just sending her an email - cause I already did that a few weeks ago. And Jenny just said in the response email that I should call her. That process was a huge waste of my time. Any how, I’m tired of being this fat; summer is approaching and, although it’s very easy to get excited about something difficult that you’re not doing yet - this time I’m determined to do the weight loss program and be successful.

Sometimes when this happens, it’s just that your body has lost a couple pounds of water which sometimes gives the illusion of fat loss. Just my two cents.
