I have been on my Nutrisystem journey for 23 weeks now. It’s felt like a long trek. Of course, I guess nothing worth having is ever easy, is it? After gaining, 1.5 pounds last week, I have lost .5 pound this week. I know I should be really excited and happy that I have lost ….anything. My brain knows this, my body knows this, my heart not so much. I’m not referring to the physical health of my heart. I am referring to my heart that gets discouraged and sad with every movement of the scale. It’s always been this way. Maybe it always will be. All I know is that I feel like losing weight is a really steep uphill battle for me. I’m trying to stay positive but every time I see a commercial or success story, I feel like I should be further along. I feel like this…
Nutrisystem has been amazing. They are supportive and offer so many great recipes and tips. The food is awesome and pre packaged for convenient portion control. The problem is that I’ve been letting life get in the way. I get distracted by life. Running around with the girls, traveling, trying to get this house sold and keeping it clean, running out the door at all times of the day and night to accommodate for showings. Traveling to take the girls to visit my husband. What it comes down to is I’m letting my life run me instead of the other way around. I have to break the cycle of overwhelming chaos. I feel like I’m treading water here. Anybody have any ideas of how to mentally prep myself to stay on task?What do you do to keep yourself from losing sight of your goals? How do you stay the course,when it seems there are constant storms blowing in?
If you are interested in more information about this great plan please feel free to contact Nutrisytem or call 888-853-4689. What do you have to lose? Aside from a few pounds, that is?

Girl, I f-ing love your posts. I’m hoping tonight in the midst of cleaning, I will write a post about my weight loss journey that began March 1, 2010. I soooooo wish I had before and after pictures!! I really do need to share my journey though and it’s ups and downs and what I found worked for me and didn’t! You’re inspiring girlfriend!
Abbi,
You are sweet. Please do share your story.I’d love some new ideas to get myself kickstarted or restarted or whatever the hell needs to happen. I;m just so tired from fighting the battle.ARGH! Oh well, I’ll keep fighting the good fight. I guess a lifetime of thinking has to be changed in order for me to get comfortable in my own skin:)
Ok, the post is up! 😉
Debi, you are such an inspiration to me. Losing weight ever since Diego was born has been a insanely difficult thing for me. I feel so impressed by your journey with Nutrisystem. And the way you aren’t afriad to talk about it every step of the way. I wish you lived next door to me so we could be diet and workout buddies. I know I would do so much better with you around inspriing the shit out of me every day. PS I think you look amazing and I think you are amazing. Inside and out.
