The Return

Today will officially end Pre-Conditioning and begining the regular program. I am not sure why I thought I would now be able to eat normally but those hopes were dashed as she hands me another sheet (very similar to the first one), and says to now eat what's on this sheet.

To the good stuff. I stayed strictly on plan and was down to 202.2. Down 3.8 pounds. That got my attention.  OMG!

Let me take another look at that list.

No Sugar, No Salt, No More

I met with my new program consultant today. Did a starting weigh in, measurements, and handed over most of the contents of my wallet. It is then that I realize that by that by signing up, I have already spent more than what my insurance would be going up, If I had done nothing. I decide not to share that new bit of information with my husband.

 

My starting weight was 206. That means that by simply waking in here today, I am already down by 4 pounds. Success! I am on a roll. Then she begins to explain the program. Blah, blah, no sugar, blah, no salt, blah. What? Can you repeat that please. All my foods come with both sugar and salt. It happens to be how I maintain this body, my hypertension and my diabetes. If I cut those out, it could seriously affect this nations economic balance. I have doctors, pharmacies, and fast food companies counting on me to make payroll. She is cold as ice as she hands me a paper and instructs me not to eat anything not written on this paper. I have entered Pre-Conditioning. Dun-dun-dun......

 

It is a purging of everything that makes life worth living. I am strong. I can do this.
