Diets vs. Lifestyle

So a constant struggle for this mom of three is food. I love sweets!! Unfortunately my body also shows this - so I went on the American quest for 'figure resolution' - (thin is not politically correct).



Anyway - Jenny was not for me, I truly "watched" my weight with Weight Watchers - only it went the wrong way - Nutrisystem required adding food from your kitchen - so not cost effective for this budget conscious mom. So - I have now joined a group of people that are also struggling to EatRight. We meet weekly with a nutritionist and learn something new almost every week - some we already know simply because we have tried to rest :)



I am nine weeks into this - others are losing weekly - guess who has only lost one and a half pounds the whole nine weeks?



I know - such a shock - so I went to an individual meeting with the doctor of the program. I am thrilled to announce I now have an enhanced and live-able plan to coordinate with what I have already been doing - he showed me how to respond to what is going on within my body - those crazy hormones!!



So he adjusted the medication my gyno had me on - and I will see him again in a month!!



The question on my profile is one that applies to me, my children, and almost everyone else I know - I am determined to get the two in line!! This is going to take a combination of God, family, medicine, and plain old self denial (my flesh screams out too much!!). I look forward to updating you on my successes and setbacks.
