Simple Math

Do you know what I love about the Take Shape for Life/Medifast program?  It's really goof-proof!  That's one of the things that attracted me to the program at the very beginning.  I was SO tired of counting calories, carbs, points, fat grams . . . anybody else raising their hand right now?

I LOVE the fact that we don't have to count anything, other than counting out 5 Medifast meals every day, then adding in our choice of a lean and green.  Simple!  Just not always that easy :-).

The program itself is simple, and the results are guaranteed.   In math, Take Shape for Life/Medifast would be called the constant:  follow the program and the weight comes off - every time.  The variable in all of this is, well, us!  If we're committed to doing the program, it works; if we play around, waffle (sorry to use an off-plan word!), cheat here and there - maybe it will work and maybe it won't, depending on whether or not we eventually get serious and get it done.

That's why it's so important to recommit on a daily basis!  Deciding to just do it, one day, one meal and one choice at a time ensures ultimate success.  It doesn't always happen as quickly as we'd like (I would have loved to lose the entire 126 pounds in, say, a month!), but we WILL lose and we WILL reach our goal.   If you're just starting and have a lot of weight to lose, isn't it great to know that you don't have to commit today to do this for months on end?  You only have to commit to do the plan today!  One day and one choice at a time - so simple, and so effective.  Choose wisely :-)
