My MediFast Diet - Day 15

So ends day 15 on this journey. No one told me this would be easy, not that I every thought it would be, and it isn't.

For dinner this evening, I grilled a couple of split chicken breast for myself and my family. It was so nice to have everyone eating dinner together again. After dinner I was so tired. I had to lay down until I regained my strength, about an hour. I am also struggling with the balance of the immediate sacrifice for a desired end result and the immediate gratification of things of the past with no thought of the long term outcome. In other words, should I eat the cookie or not! I am proud to say I still haven't eatten the cookie. And actually it isn't really a specific cookie, its every cookie, every piece of cake, every ice cream bar, and every little peace of sushi. My daughter has been craving sushi and misses our lunches to resturants my husband doesn't care for but we love. Actually, I'm missing those lunches, too!

I did make a great discovery today. I found that, upon request, the Baristar at Starbucks was willing to add one of the MediFast Shake Packets to a Tall Iced Coffee and it was pretty good. Yeah! I have regained one of my previous pleasures, coffee at Starbucks, even if it isn't a 'Venti Vanilla Toffeenut Nonfat Latte'. This is a frequent family outing at my house, one I have avoided up until this evening. Thank you to all those resturants who are willing to assist all of us working so hard to lose pounds.

I am also learning which MediFAst products fit within my own lifestyle. In the end, I still feel that the MediFast Diet is the best thing I could have done for myself and my family. I am also happy to say some of my friends have also shown signs of the desire to make the changes necessary to reduce their own excess weight. That helps encourage me too.

I hope that you will also consider taking the necessary sacrifices to make a difference in your own life.

Until tomorrow. . . .
