3 weeks!

My third week into the programme is reaching to an end today!
I can now appreciate the big push the JS gave me to start this programme. I have just realised that I have never really followed a weight management programme. I have tried in the past to get rid of a few kg, and stopped as soon as I reached 2-3 kg. Generally speaking I am careful about what I eat and tend to regulate myself fine, but since I have past 40, I can see that the self regulation has lost in efficiency.
So I have realised today that I have been in the programme for three full weeks and that I have another 9 weeks to go, and the best thing is that it is not scary at all! On the contrary it is quite an exciting experience, already seeing myself going back to a normal silhouette.
The reason I never kept a restrictive diet for more than 2 weeks before is, because of the feeling you have of being deprived of your favourite food, and since I have started, I never have had this feeling. So, it feels easy and so exciting!
The first two days after I stopped the JS I was a bit worried as I could feel the absence of its positive effect on the mind. But, this was quickly regulated, thanks to a fantastic head start given by the JS!
I shall check on paper how I am doing after three weeks.... keeping in mind I haven't been very good with the exercise part of the programme. But this is now changing! I am moving more and doing more specific exercises as proposed in the  programme guide.
