Carrie,
I have previously tried bettalife, weight watchers, lite n easy and jenny craig. I found weight watchers didn't work for me because I hate adding and weighing things but it works for many of my firends. I hated jenny craig and lite n easy but my main reason is because being married my hubby hates me not eating/ cooking with him. He is one of those lucky bas...ds that can eat and drink as much as he likes and not exercise and not gain weight. He has a very muscular build naturally, but i think this stems from his early childhood/ teens when he was always active, and he still socially does things like sail.
Me on the other hand, major geek, loner, always overweight, never exercised, always worked after school type thing so fat loves me and clings forever.
Pre planned food doesn't work with me because I need to cook for hubby and he hates to eat alone and socially he wants me to be able to eat what others are eating. So now I am preparing healthy food, smaller portions for me, and like tonight when I do marinated chicken in fresh thyme, lemon, garlic and a wee bit of olive oil, barbequed with a fresh sald, I will also give him mashed potato, but I won't, and instead of 2 chicken thigh fillets I would normally have, I'll now have one! And when I pour him a glass of wine, I'll be pouring myself some more agua.
You have done amazingly on your own and you can do this - hey, you even ate fish!! Yes.......I did read it all!!! We can do this and maybe you can take half the money you paid LA weight and put it in a jar for say new exercise gear, or lippy or whatever makes you feel good. My reward this week if I stick to everything is well overdue mani and pedi which I reeeaaaallllllyyyyyy need so I best stick to the plan otherwise it won't be pretty!!
And also congrats on not bingeing - I am a major one of these and it is so hard not to do it, that's awesome. Just remember that person in the picture is getting more beautiful and stronger every day!
