Last night I had my official weigh in with my coach, she seems nice enough but to be honest I'm not sure I like her as a coach!? I've never had a coach before so I don't have anything to compare her to but she just comes across as being a little fake? I found out just recently that she wasn't even on the program when I signed up, she was on a break? Last night I told her I was going off plan for the week of Christmas and she shuns me and shakes her head, covers her ears and acts all dramatic. I shrug her off, first off ... who is she to tell me that I HAVE to stay on the program when she took a break? And secondly ... what does she really care? This way I am guaranteed to be on the program longer therefore paying her more money for the product?
She has also said some things to me during my time on the program that makes me question just how much she really knows. I mentioned to her before about how I made stuffed peppers that were on a IP site and that the next time I made them I would add the cheese to the meat instead of putting it on top. I was a little surprised when she gasped that I had cheese? I mean it was probably only about a tablespoon, maybe a 1/8 of a cup and it was Low fat cheese?!? It didn't seem to halt my weight loss so I figure... why not!? I don't want to live my life as if it was soooo restricted that I can't even have cheese? Maybe I'm not doing IP completely 100% and yes I have had cheats, yes they have slowed my weight loss but it has been minimal (in my opinion). Technically I am still averaging 3.2lbs per week loss, which is amazing! Anyway... so I'm taking Christmas week off and I plan on enjoying it!!
The only problem I have is that last night after I got home from my weigh in I had a strong desire to binge! It was like by me telling her I was taking the week off I was telling myself that it was OK to go crazy and cheat!? It was like all of a sudden I was starving, it was so odd? Even today I feel like when I have the hunger pains I should just have another snack and it's OK. I think it is because this diet is so easy to drop the weight (when you stick to the program 100%) that it almost gives you the OK to have a bad week cause you know that next week if I stick the program 100% the weight will fall off. I know that if I gain 5lbs over Christmas (which I probably will) all I have to do is follow phase I of the program for a week and that weight will be gone (and maybe more too?). I can see this being a issue if I don't get my thoughts straight, I could end up being a binge eater~with the thought that it's OK to go off track, I'll just loose it next week!? At least I recognize this now and hopefully will be smarter then that!! :s
