In July 2013 I started Jenny Craig. I started Jenny Craig at 170 lbs and dropped down to 145 lbs within 6 months. I was deliriously happy. I promised myself that I'd spent so much money doing it, that I wasn't going to let myself gain it back. And yet here I am 2 years later at about the same weight I was back then. So what went wrong? It started with losing my counselor, she moved away, and I did't jell with the new one, so I started doing it by myself. I crept up from 145 to 150. I promise myself, that 150 was my limit and I wouldn't cross it. But it was terribly difficult to manage it. So I let myself creep up to 152 and told myself that maybe 155 should be my lifetime goal. More manageable. Slowly the weight began creeping up, and I began to get into the mode of eating lots of sweets again instead of just 1 piece. My Dec 2014 after Christmas I was 160. So I decided to do Atkins as a quick solution. It worked, I dropped down to 154 and went on holiday to my home country India where I proceeded to happily eat all the yummy foods I'd missed. Back home I spent April and May struggling to drop the weight.. I turned 40 in May and promised myself, that I'd spent years yoyo dieting, and at 40 the one thing I was truly going to stop was eating till I burst and then throwing up in guilt and because I wanted it out of me. Then in mid June my sister had a relapsed bout with cancer and I had to fly back to India to spend 2 weeks with her caring for her / her kids while she did chemo. I spent those 2 weeks once again eating more of the sweets I love. My excuse was that I needed something to cope with all that was going on. And now I'm back home back at 168.6 lbs where i was 2 years back. I'm sorely tempted to go back on Atkins and try to drop the weight. But I'm 40 now, somehow that seems to be the time when I should start to mature. So last week I promised myself, I was going to try to do this with regular meals and drop just 1 lb a week. It would take me months, the same months I would use up if I kept yoyoing back and forth. All I had to aim for each week was to lose 1 lb. I could do it. So last week I was able to drop almost a lb and I'm happy. I ate everything I liked and walked. I followed my plan reasonably well. My goal this week is the same. The weekends are a struggle, but I know I can do it.
