Hey, my name's Gail, 32 from the Sacramento area. Started the process today to lose 70 lbs. Met with my consultant yesterday, set a meal plan for the week, stayed very strict today. But I am having an extremely tough day today. Although I joined Jenny back in the summer of 2010 and lost 36 lbs in 3 months time, I quit and gained it back, plus more, and now I'm starting over to do it again. But this time around I'm having a very difficult time adjusting. I am in misery tonight, hungry, missing going out to the restaurants where the know me and my usual orders, I miss the enjoyment and atmosphere of going out to eat, and it's only day 1! It felt like I was eating next to nothing today. I keep looking at my eating journal, showing I stayed to my menu, which makes me proud, but I'm still in MISERY. Seriously. I broke down and cried over dinner because I honestly didn't want to eat it. I wanted to go out so bad. I need that extra push both in person and online to get me to stay on track and knowing I'm doing the right thing, and helping me through the stomach growlings. I am hoping joining the Jenny forums this will help me.

But you survived. And every day it will get easier. Perhaps you can add some extra veggies so you can feel more full until your stomach shrinks a bit. Just remember you are doing this for you and that should be enough motivation to set you on the right path again. Best of luck

I just started my 5th week and it has been going good, down 10.8 I was so afraid starting before the holdidays, but so thankful that I did or I would probably have been up another 5 atleast. But yesterday for some reason was difficult, I was hungry and did use my freebies. I don't know if it was because Zumba started up again. Anyway, hang in there, it's worth it, I love the food and the program, I feel so much better. Have so much more energy. Is this why I am up at 3 in the morning. Have a better day today. We can do this, we are worth it !!!

Hi Gail,
You're right, it's a really hard transition. When I first started I had a lot of the same issues. I used to go out to lunch at work every single day. I was starving all the time for the first couple of weeks, but I decided that feeling good about myself forever was more important than feeling good for a few minutes because of the food I was eating. After those first couple of weeks, and after I started to see the results on the scale, the momentum just started kicking in and I worried less about what I was missing. Hang in there, girl - feeling healthy and good about yourself will only make those meals out at restaurants better once you have the tools you need to eat them the right way!
