NS

June 27th will mark my 1 year anniversary on NutriSystem. Luckily I will be able to say that I've accomplished alot thanks to this program and what I've learned from it. It has been, and will continue to be, quite the journey. The easiest part has truly been losing the weight because I feel that I still eat well. The hardest part, which I'm still working on, has been coming to terms with the fact that I will forever have to watch what I eat and continuously work at staying thin.

I want to list a few things that have been important to me. There are many more, but listing all of them would take quite a while. Also, I tend to forget the little things sometimes and that's too bad really. But I'll never forget what it felt like to weigh 341 lbs.

Thanks to NS:

*I know what a meal should look like.
*I know what kinds of food I should be eating for optimum health.
*I know how to successfully eat out at a restaurant or other events where I don't prepare the food.
*I am physically active.
*I have all the tools I need to ensure long-term success regardless of whether life throws me curveballs or not.


Due to working NS:

*I am able to fit in an airplane seat comfortably and eat on the tray.
*I can move freely! Bending, kneeling, squatting, running, walking, jumping, etc.
*I like what I see in the mirror.
*I can essentially wear what I want. I am no longer limited to shopping by catalog only.
*I feel good about myself.
*I'm not ashamed to be "seen" in public and I no longer feel I don't look good enough to be by my husband's side. (He doesn't agree with this statement that I should ever have felt embarassed because he's always loved me for who I am and never felt embarassed to be at my side).
