Diets and Mindsets- Nutrisystem Results Weeks 4-6

Sharing is caring!

It has been a few weeks since I’ve shared my Nutrisystem progress. I must say that I struggle some days.

I am learning more and more just how much I truly must be committed to lifestyle changes. I am learning not to beat myself up when I crave something that is not on my diet- and I eat it.

I made bean and cheese nachos for my family for lunch one day recently. I really thought I could handle it. But as the nachos came out of the oven and the sharp cheddar cheese was perfectly melted over each chip piled with delicious refried beans, I just starred at the tray. I wanted one. I really, really wanted one. I could taste them- I know how good these suckers are. Especially when partnered with some homemade guacamole and a dollop of cold sour cream. I stood over the kitchen sink and snuck one. Quickly. I had to. I was craving it. And one turned into two. And two turned into four and finally I was satisfied.

I cheated. I felt bad and good all at the same time. I controlled it- not eating the entire tray of nachos.   They were so delcious and honestly I just was not interested in a salad and granolla bar that day for lunch. I wanted those darn nachos.

I am learning more and more through Nutrisystem just how much I really love food. I am learning how much food makes me happy and that is not necessarily the best place to be. But I give a little and take a little- don’t we all. I am learning to eat until I am satisfied and not eat until I am stuffed. Eating five times per day certainly spreads how what my body needs to be fueled through the say instead of running on coffee for 8 hours and then stuffing myself at dinner time.

When I hit the 10 pound mark, Nutrisystem sent me a red bear that says 10 pounds. My kids were so proud- Mommy,  you got a prize! It is a reminder that I am making progress. I can tell my body is changing. Although I am not losing five pounds per week, my clothes fit very different, I hardly ever wear my Spanx anymore, and people are noticing.   That really feels so good!

After six weeks total on the program, my weightloss is at 13 pounds. Just 18.5 pounds until I reach my goal weight!
