I started JC yesterday...great day to start since we were having people over for a barbecue!! But, it was mostly my family and a also one of my old friends who I've just reconnected with after moving back to my old neighborhood recently.

As we are chatting about the food we are making I mention to my friend that I started Jenny Craig that day so I won't be having this or that, but I can have this... and she says with utter shock and almost an "are you kidding me" attitude - you know, like why would I need to be doing something like that!!! kind of a thing... "YOU!!!???." She is about 5 inches shorter than I am and is noticeably chubby.

So I turn around and lift up my baggy shirt to reveal the rolls on my back and waist line and there's a pause of silence and then she says ..... "OH!.....I had no idea you looked like that under your clothes! You always look so nice I thought you were perfect!"

Ha ha! I dress to hide my flaws quite well.

It was the funniest moment! It doesn't sound nearly as funny in text as it did when it happened!

Anyway, I got through the first day and the barbecue without too much trouble. As a Coke-a-holic, I didn't make it through the whole day without having a Coke, but I felt pretty good about only having one since I usually have at least four or five. I also ate a packet of Oreo's 100 calorie snacks and had a glass of red wine with dinner. Considering I was surrounded by bbq chicken, baked beans, bread, butter and an ice chest full of beer and frozen margaritas, I don't think I did too bad.

Back at it this morning! I might even go for a hike up the hill behind my house if it doesn't get too hot.

Pffft, yeah right...that's probably not really going to happen. Ha ha!

Welcome kelly!

lol, that is funny.....while telling your story I was thinking about a similar one myself....we do learn to hide our "voluptuousness" well dont we? ha. I always say there are 2 things that hide it well.....the right clothing and a tan. lol.....guess thats why I keep our local tanning salon in biz. hehe

About the cokes....I too was a coke-a-holic, and when I first started jc I quit cold turkey....BIG MISTAKE, I had withdrawls like crazy.....headaches, lethargy, irritability, achiness.....the list goes on and on, so long story short...slowly get off cokes.....believe me, you will be glad you did. You wouldnt think caffeine withdrawal AND sugar WD would make you feel SO bad, but it will. I was a sweet fanatic as well.......still am, just not as bad...I def have to have my sweet fix daily.....oops! did I just admit that

Anyway, thx for the smile this morning

But, Melissa, you meant that you had a sweet Jenny snack, right?

And, Kelly, congrats for doing so well considering the circumstances. Now maybe you can get your "chubby" friend to join you so you'll have local support as well as what you'll find on the boards.
