It turns out that you have to consistently implement healthy eating habits to maintain weight loss. Who knew?
You know, of course, and so do I. But it also turns out that knowing something and putting it into practice are two very different things. I stopped practicing. I gained weight. So now it’s time to get real. Again.
A couple of years ago I had the amazing opportunity to try the Jenny Craig weight loss program. Longtime East Tucson Macaroni Kid readers may remember my Jenny Craig chronicles: For several months I documented my weight-loss journey, muffin-top and all. I admit it was hard to put myself out there in front of thousands of readers and social media followers. But being successful with the Jenny Craig program? That part was easy. I felt satisfied by the tasty food, supported by my consultant, and endlessly motivated by losing pounds and inches*. When I finished my 4 months on the plan, I highly recommended Jenny Craig to everyone who asked, and I always said I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Fast forward about 80 million heartbeats. It has been more than two years since I first tried Jenny Craig. Although I maintained my weight loss for nearly a year, I have since gained it back. All. Of. It. It was a difficult year for a number of reasons, and the bad habits started creeping back in little by little. First, it was turning to food to manage emotions. Then I started grabbing meals on the go when life was too stressful to meal-plan. Finally, sleepless nights found me in front of the TV or the computer with whatever late-night snack was readily available, munching away at midnight.
I am ready to get back some control over my eating habits and my life. I know that Jenny Craig can help.
Once again I have an incredible opportunity to go back on the Jenny Craig weight loss program, and to share my journey with you. Jenny Craig has changed a little in recent years, with new features like Rapid Results and DNA testing, some new menu items, and new packaging for food shipments. I am eager to learn about and share those features with you. The most important things about Jenny Craig have stayed the same, however. They are consistently a top-ranked weight loss program for 10 years in a row, with a proven combination of delicious food and amazing support that leads to results. Healthy eating is a skill that takes practice. Jenny Craig does the hard work of meal planning and food preparation so that members can learn, re-learn, and practice the habits that will help them lose weight.
Why am I doing Jenny Craig again, even though it means having to publicly share unflattering photos, vulnerable details, and very real moments?
Because last time around so many of you were enthusiastic and supportive, and your encouragement meant the world to me.
Because I hope my story will resonate with those of you who also struggle with your weight, and perhaps even be inspiring.
Because Jenny Craig works, and life can't wait.
Plus, I've been dreaming about this chocolate lava cake for two years!
