Forgot to mention that when I received the NutriSystem pre-packaged meals, I got some other stuff with it to help me ’stay on the diet’. This is what I got:
- personalized Meal Planner
- Mindset MakeoverTM behavior modification guide (which said it was made by weight management expert Gary Foster, Ph.D.)
- exercise DVD by fitness expert Leslie Sansone (actually there’s also one from NFL star Vaughn Hebron but this latter one is for men)
I went over the Mindset MakeoverTM behavior modification guide right away because I wanted to be properly psyched with this diet attempt of mine. I liked what I read. I mean nothing mind-blowing or earth-shattering but that’s part of the appeal I guess because it’s not like one of those “we promise you the moon and the stars” diet. I personally liked the tips for how to make smart food choices while grocery shopping and when eating out or during the Holidays.
This part really ’spoke’ to me because I am guilty of always shopping when I’m hungry. Sitting all day in front of the computer at work really makes you fat but at the end of the day, I don’t really have the energy to go and ‘prepare a meal’ so I often just run to the grocer’s and get some prepared, pre-packaged food or go take-out some Chinese. Also, often, because I know there’s no food at home or I’m too lazy to cook, I’m VERY willing to go eat out with friends and/or colleagues so the calories just pile on. Anyway, at least now I have some tips on how to curb my desire to pick ‘bad food’ off supermarket shelves. (Also, with NutriSystem, I don’t worry about the time or being lazy because they’re easy to prepare anyway.)
I don’t have time now but I’ll watch the exercise DVD soon
