3 more weeks of Optifast

Jan 29, 2013

It's funny how sometimes you manage to psych yourself up over something that is really no big deal. I remember 7 days ago when I ate my "last meal" -  I won't even tell you how bad it was for me - I didn't think there was any way that I could make it through 4 weeks with no food. I gagged at the thought of protein shakes, and was so very doubtful of my ability to give up food. However, here I am. Day 8 of my Optifast diet, and I have to confess...I like them. I actually look forward to my shakes.

I take great satisfaction in the sound of my Magic Bullet crushing the ice cubes inside my delicious chocolate shake. The crushing, loud, echoing sound that resonates from that blender is the sound of the excuses I've used over the years to explain my inability to lose weight being crushed into tiny pieces. I no longer have those excuses. I feel empowered to help myself.

Every time I open up an Optifast package, I feel proud of myself. I can do this. For me.

I have 20 more days to go. That's 80 more Optifast shakes. I am telling you today, every one of those shakes is going to taste better than the last, because at the end of it all, I will be rewarded with a brand new me! Bring on February 19th!
