Dear Jenny,
Like most people, I have always battled five to ten pounds here and there. Those five to ten pounds turned into ten and twenty when I got married. The combination of cooking at home, renting movies and bad migraines really helped me pack on the pounds. Then, I got pregnant. At the time, I thought to myself, "Wow, this is a great excuse to eat whatever I want. I'll just take off the 'baby weight' later." When "later" rolled around, I found that I lacked the discipline to devise and stick to a routine. I felt very out of control of my appetite and my body. I felt like I was losing my youth. My life and health were just slipping away.
One day I was sitting on the living room floor with my baby when I saw a Jenny Craig commercial. I snapped out of my low-energy haze and decided I needed to call Jenny immediately. That same evening I went to a Centre. It was such a relief just to be there and instantly I knew I was going to be okay. After one week on the program, I had already lost weight, my energy had returned and my thighs were getting smaller!
After losing 30 pounds on Jenny Craig I learned that I was pregnant again, one of the side effects of being a "hot wife"! I then chose to take a break from my program. As I began to gain weight from the pregnancy, I felt like I was losing ground towards my goal. But because I had lost weight in the beginning, this second pregnancy was very healthy and I functioned with ease.
At the first opportunity my 2-month-old and I made an appointment to get started on Jenny Craig again. I was starting over with a different set of circumstances (okay, a toddler and a newborn), but with the same confidence that my comprehensive, personalized Jenny Craig program would work for me.
For every challenge on the program I faced, my Jenny consultant armed me with a new strategy. I always believed that I had no willpower, but Jenny taught me that I just needed some "skillpower!" When I thought I had no time to exercise she hooked me up with a pedometer that gave me a new way to look at activity. Now I have routines set up throughout my day that keep me active. For example, aerobic laundry and tooth brushing! When I had trouble resisting other people's offers of food, she gave me social assertiveness tips that have resonated through other areas of my life. When I wanted a particular type of food, I could always find a Jenny's Cuisine entree or snack to fit my need and help me keep on track.
The Jenny Craig Weight Loss Program has given me so much: vibrant health, energy, stamina coping skills and self-discipline. Now, I can help others experience these it rewards because I became a Jenny Craig consultant! Thanks Jenny!
Sincerely, Monica
