I almost didn't write this post, but I feel the need to close it out since you might be wondering. Plus a family member of mine asked me to no longer post on social media about anything to do with my weight loss efforts since another family member is asking and bugging her about it since I haven't posted recently.
Now, I would prefer that if people want to know what's going on given my silence that they come directly to me rather than my family, but since that doesn't seem quite possible with this individual, perhaps she'll stumble across this post and it will answer her questions. Passive aggressive? You bet. But if you aren't going to ask me directly, I won't tell you directly either.
So why didn't it work? Here are my "excuses":
- My office doesn't have a freezer (crazy right??) and thawed out frozen meals then reheated for lunch were no bueno. Very gummy. And not in a good way like gummy bears.
- While one of each meal per week is a "flex meal," there's no wiggle room for splurges or "cheats."
- You have, maybe, 20 or so options for each meal. But some of them are bad. And it gets repetitive to eat the same damn thing over and over again. Even the good stuff.
- In the past few years, I've tried to cut out processed stuff and eat more "real" food. Nutrisystem is all processed food with added protein/fiber/preservatives.
- We all know lower carb diets work better. We might not like it, because carbs are yummy. But it's true. And most Nutrisystem meals are pasta, sandwiches, pizzas, waffles, etc. It just didn't feel like I was eating healthy meals, just small-but-still-bad-for-you ones.
And so I've moved on to the next thing. Maybe it will work, maybe it will not. We shall see. Farewell until I decide what else to do with this blog. I'm open to suggestions...
