Medifast Newbie.....Week 1 down
 

Hi ladies,

I'm new to this site and new to Medifast. I started Medifast last Wed. so tomorrow will be my 1 week weigh in mark. I know I lost weight because I weighed myself yesterday and this morning and lost about 3.5 lbs but today was a total bummer for me. We had our dept. x-mas party at work and I'm new there and felt I couldn't be unsocial by sitting in my cube or just not eating/socializing so I ate. To make matters worse I ate during lunch/x-mas party then had to go out to eat dinner for my mom's bday. Granted I had water, a tuna steak and field greens for dinner still I feel horrible. I've had this horrible feeling all day since lunch. I feel such a whale since I ate food food. I am convinced I gained 5 lbs! its such a horrible feeling. I emailed my coach and haven't heard back from her. I'm such a worried wreck on this program I'm so afraid I'm going to gain tons of weight once I start eating real food again but on the other hand I'm desperate to lose this weight I gained while taking anxiety medication (btw I stopped taking it b/c of weight gain).

Well I just wanted to vent hopefully tomorrow isn't real bad :( when I weigh in the morning and get my motivation back up.

Look forward to having everyones support and motivation on this journey!:smug:

Hi Bgray

So how was weigh in?
Don't beat yourself up.
You learned a lesson so just don't do it again. Get right back on program and stick to it. If you blow it one day make sure to have a MF meal before bed so you end your day with MF and start right back on plan in the morning.

Tuna and greens was on plan so that's good. You don't say what you had ay the party???

If you kicked yourself out of fat burn it will take another 3-4 days to get back in. It's best for your body to get into fat burn and stay there till you hit goal. You don't have much to lose so it shouldn't take very long.

I know you can do it. Good Luck to you!
