WEEK 4 - 5.5 MORE POUNDS GONE

TOTAL FOR THE MONTH 27.5 POUNDS OF FAT GONE FOREVER!
I LOVE THIS PROGRAM! Yes I am shouting it from the roof top and to all who may be reading this blog. If you are wondering if this program will work for you. Be assured that if you have the right mind set and really want to lose weight this program will be it. As their jingle says it will “nourish your mind, nourish your health , nourish your body, nourish yourself.” I have been on many programs in my life time and this is the first one in which I feel all those things are happening to me. I am learning portion control and how to eat the correct way and not to put so much emphasis on food. My health is beginning to improve, so is my body and my self worth.


During my previous weight loss attempt in 2004 I had to plan each week what foods I was going to eat, figure out the points for each item, spend hours shopping for it and preparing it. Going to get weighed in was a very uncomfortable chore for me. I had to try an get my scooter around that small room to get to my card and the scales and then have a crowd of people looking on as I tried to get off the scooter and balance myself on the scale and hope and pray I did everything right that week so I lost a few more pounds. On that other program I lost 19 pounds the first month. It took me almost 7 weeks on that program to lose the 27.5 pounds I have lost in 4 weeks with NS. NS is so simple and the best thing I have done for myself. They are right when they say "the pounds will melt off.


I pray to God each day to help me to choose to stay on program so I can continue to reach my goal. Each day I say to myself “obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal.” Well let me tell you my eyes are fixated on that goal. I no longer will accept being a Super Sized Fl Belle. I know inside of all this fat just waiting to come out is the Sexy Slim Fl Belle. “I’m coming out and I want the world to know and I’m going to let it show.” Of course it may take me a year or more but it will happen. I know I will be staying healthy and happy the NS weigh and hope all of you will too. See you on the boards.

You are so right that you have to have the mindset that you're ready to lose weight. But I also agree that this diet is FANTASTIC. I never did WW specifically because I could not face the public weigh-ins. You have my respect for going through that! At my heaviest I weighed 405 lbs. I didn't even know if the WW scales would be able to accomodate me!

Congratulations on your loss, staring down temptation, really making it work for you! I'm in awe after reading your blog, Amanda!
