I'm working on my third week of Nutrisystem D.I.Y. and I've come across a couple of problems. The first one is I'm getting really sick of what's in the Walmart 5 day kits. The second one is I've been trying to do some freezer cooking on my own but I can't resist tasting what I'm cooking and maybe I'm tasting to much.
There is also a confidence issue here, and that is what if I'm not measuring right or I'm getting too much sodium in my food, or the mix isn't quite right. I'm so new at this, I want to make sure I'm getting it right, and most of all I want the results.
We don't live in a static world and plans should be flexible, so here is mine. I am going to break down and buy some a la carte food from the Nutrisystem website. After all variety is the spice of life, and I'm going to continue to search for foods that are very similar and portion controlled to fill in the gaps. As I said before, I'm really not into sweet breakfasts so, I will probably do a lot of breakfasts that are nutritionally the same as the Nutrisystem breakfasts but that are locally available anytime I need to purchase them such as Jimmy Dean Delights breakfast sandwiches.
The last couple of weeks have taught me that Nutrisystem isn't just selling food, they are selling structure and along with convenience and portion control, that is a very valuable thing.
If you are busy like I am, maybe you don't have the time needed to create that kind of structure. When you think about it, your time is valuable, so it's worth it to let Nutrisystem do the heavy lifting for you.
Going into week 3 I'm loving this diet, and learning a lot too. I'm learning about what I need to succeed, and why other diets just haven't worked for me. Honestly, except when I'm cooking, it's been so easy to stay on plan.
