As of Monday I was back to the Clinic for round two of my weight loss journey. I had considered waiting until after Christmas but a few pounds had snuck back on and I seemed unable to control my impulse to cram as much chocolate as humanly possible into my mouth! I was nervous as I thought there would be judgements but everyone was nice. But then why wouldn't they be nice when I am paying them a ton of money!
Within a day of being back on strict, I felt better. In two days, any bloating I had was gone. By day three, the hunger and cravings were gone. I am once again eating only that necessary to sustain me. If all goes well, it will take about 3 or 4 months to get me close to goal. And then I think I will go on their maintenance program for at least a year. As accountability seems to be what I need to keep me on track, I may have to go on maintenance for more than a year, maybe for the rest of my life!
