1. Good luck!

Portion control is my problem, too, but I've now got a band around my stomach to help me with it. I'm interested in what you think and how it works for you. :hi:

3. Please don't stick with their food too long

I've worked for Jenny Craig; although about 12 years ago. Those foods have portion control - which is good, but they are not a long-term solution. I saw too many people use the planned program as a crutch but never learn to basics of planning your own meals - many of these people ended up dropping out of the program because they couldn't keep the weight off.

Utilize them for a few weeks but ultimately you got to wean yourself off them and on to your own foods. I've found that these programs can sap your money dry - learning portion control and putting together your own food plan is way less expensive than what is offered by Nutrisystem. But like you said - if portion control is a problem this is a decent start. A few weeks you'll be weaned off the processed foods, use to limited calories have have a strong visualization of what are proper portions.

As for me - I'm starting Overeaters Anon. I want to treat my unhealthy eating habits for what they are - addiction.

Good luck with your program!

to sell food and their really useless video and audio tapes.
