Tim and I are starting our fourth day on the OPTIFAST Program! Have we had hunger? Certainly! Have we had thoughts about eating other foods? Of course we have.
But, we've stuck with it - supporting each other. We have a Meal Replacement every three hours from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and we have water and diet beverages in between meals.
We've kept busy - particularly as we set up our new OPTIFAST Program, Queen Anne Medical Weight Loss. There's been much to occupy our minds and our time.
We know that if we just stay with the eighteen-week Program - day in and day out, the time will go by. It will be October 2010 no matter what Tim and I do!
And if we are successful, October will come AND we will have met our weight loss and fitness goals! Left to our own devices, October would come and we would still be frustrated by the same issues of overweight and increased health risk.
So, while it's early, Tim and I feel we are already succeeding! We are adjusting, and even yesterday could sense that the early hunger we experienced wasn't so compelling. We simply wrapped our minds around the fact that in an hour or two, we'd have another meal. And if we just stay conscientious, we'll achieve our goals.
We'd like to hear about other people's early experiences with the Program.
We're all in this together!
