It has been the most interesting holiday season yet, in my 29 yrs. (Today is my birthday…happy birthday to me). I really learned a lot about my eating habits during this emotional period. Prior to Christmas my grandmother, who was 84 yrs old, fell and broke her hip. We thought she was going to be fine but after the surgery she never recovered, and she passed away on New Years Eve. I was at my new restaurant in NY celebrating when I received the news. As soon as the New Year rang in I excused myself to go home. I was so confused. I did not know how to feel at the time. I was hurt, guilty, and sad all at the same time. I really felt bad because I knew my mother needed me and I wasn’t there. My Mom called me the next morning to tell me that she was going to be buried on my birthday. The anticipation of that was overwhelming. I actually flew home today and went straight to the funeral. These few days led me to eating, not really paying much attention to what I was eating, just eating. I even felt guilty for that. Once everything had settled I called my Jenny Carig consultant, Margaret (I had talked with her during the whole ordeal) to talk to her about what I had been eating. She quickly reminded me that I had been under a lot of stress and that this is what happens. I had honestly turned to food for support. I had to be strong for my mother so this was not a time for me to break down. Inside I was hurting so much I did not want to take the time to think about what I was eating, I just ate. Thankfully I only felt that way for a couple of days. Once I felt better I was so aware of what I had been doing and I am back on track now. I am actually doing my bi-weekly taping of Fit Club this weekend (Isn’t it a month or two thing? How can she do Fit Club “this weekend”?) and I met my Fit Club goal for the period.* That made me very happy!

I am so excited! It's summertime and I am back in my skinny jeans. And I owe it all to Jenny Craig! Call today and find your Ideal Size with Jenny.
