Going back to what works

I've been on more than a few diets in the last few years.

I was on Weight Watchers for a bit, but I felt like I was always starving. I could never strike a good balance with food and not feel hungry.

It didn't work because when I was hungry, I'd just fill up on stuff that wasn't good for me.

As you know, I most recently did Sutri-System, otherwise known as Nutri-System. It didn't work for me, either.

The food wasn't bad, but I got bored with the plan, which calls for eathing a salad at lunch EACH day.

For awhile, I couldn't even LOOK at salad. I was just sick of it.

Another reason for leaving Nutri-System - the price.

It's an expensive program, and I found myself spending more money to buy their food than I spent on groceries.

And guess what happened when I stopped eating their food, and went back to 'regular' food.

You guessed it, I gained weight.

This is so damn frustrating.

So, I think I'm going back on the plan that I like best, but was just too lazy to maintain.

Ediets.com gave me a lot of food options, but required me to cook for myself.

Laziness won last time, and I stopped being on the program because I didn't want to cook.

Now, however, the plan has more 'convenience' offerings, for folks on the go like me, as well as healthy meals I can make quickly.

So, we're back to the old drawing board.

This time, I'm going to make it.
