The end is near! . . . in a good way.

As of this past Saturday, I hit a milestone. I learned (courtesy of my handy, dandy bathroom scale) that I had lost 3 more pounds last week... bringing my total to a whopping 25! That's halfway there!

I figured it would take me about 6 months to reach my goal, and it looks like I'm right on track. But whereas it used to be all about the physical results in the beginning, this program now has me changing in ways I never imagined. I'm no supermodel, but I'm much more confident in myself than I used to be. I love shopping for clothes now, especially at stores where I couldn't fit into the stuff before. I wear my swimsuit around friends freely. I don't want to pig out on sugar and empty calories as I instinctively did before.

I've just changed. Period.

I've had some friends and family members approach me, wanting to know more about Jenny Craig, like if it's worth joining. I will say this: it's pretty darn expensive. I probably could be making payments on a car with the money I'm putting toward the program. But I feel it's been worth every cent. Not only has it helped me lose weight, but it has truly changed my attitude toward food. I tell people that Jenny's not a diet -- it's a lifestyle change... for the better. I needed this, and I don't regret one dollar of it.
