Have you ever had one of those weeks that just seem like everything is impossible to keep under control? That was how my week this last week went. I had a few crazy things happen in my family on Saturday and we happened to be running around Salt Lake City all morning, I was left without my Medifast Go meals because I had no idea we would be gone so long. With several hours still left in our journey, I was starved and had to eat something- so my husband and I grabbed food at McDonald’s. I chose to eat an Egg White Delight which is their healthiest meal on their breakfast menu but it still isn’t on the Medifast Go plan! Afterwards I got really down on myself and started to think and feel negative thoughts about myself and my weight. Sound familiar?
Then my hubby reminded me that even though I am fully committed to losing weight, I still have to allow myself to be human. And humans make mistakes and have crazy out of control days! It does me no good to get down on myself. I just need to pick myself back up and get back on the routine tomorrow.
I really needed to hear all of that, every single word. But it had to come from someone I trust and value- someone just like my hubs. Which brings me to the whole point of this post; to find your weight loss tribe! It’s crucial to surround yourself with positive people who got your back while you’re on your weight loss journey and those people are your tribe. Because there are days (and there will be days, I promise) where you need someone to buoy you up when you’re down and give you a good pep talk when you’re stuck in your head.
Despite my rough week I still lost another {almost} 2 lbs. on Medifast Go! I am now down 7.5 lbs total and am starting to see a difference in how my clothes are fitting! This is my favorite part of losing weight because it’s tangible and that makes me feel like it’s more permanent…and it also makes me want to get new clothes! New clothes are ALWAYS a good idea :).
This picture shows one of my FAVORITE Medifast Go snacks! It’s their cheddar and sour cream popcorn. I could seriously eat it at every meal!
