THE CURSE OF THE THREES

This used to be posted regularly by NutriSystem member Amy (Smallershadow):

There is a situation that I think needs to be brought up again since we have so many new people lately. Its called the 3s curse. (yes I'm serious) This comes in to play in ANY nutritional program and the better aware you are of it the better your chances for success. This consists of- yes- 3 parts.

Part number 1. 3 days into your program.

Right about now you're having second thoughts about what you have committed to. You may have just eaten the first food that you think is absolutely dreadful. Your head hurts from carb withdrawal, you're hungry and you're all over in a horrible mood. You HAVE to hang in there to get past the 3rd day. Take some tylonal for your head - come here for support and take the food you don't like off your next order! You are going to do great - just remember why you started!

Part number 2. the 3rd week.

By now your weight loss is slowing and you just about know what foods you like and what you don't - but WAIT there has been so much talk on the board about free foods, extras, and something about "Bears" - you're confused as heck! Does the milk for cereal count as your dairy for breakfast??? (no) Can you have popcorn??? Why did I lose 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks and this week nothing???? Oh its just too much!!!! GO to the E-classes board! Most if not all of your questions have been asked in class by many many other people! If you cant find the answers there - come post here. Thats what we are here for - to make this easier on you and we will help in anyway we can!

Part number 3. the 3rd month.

OMGOSH- you're doing it... and doing it... and doing it... things start to seem repetitive, even a tad boring now that the newness has worn off. You know what you can eat and when and you're starting to "pick" from others' plates, have a little extra peanut butter, fudge your food measurements, maybe even have hit a "stall" with the scale and you're frustrated! Calm down - you know what's happening and now you can stop it! But you have to recognize that it is happening! People get so comfortable in the 3rd month that little things start to slide! STOP IT! If you can get past the 3rd month you will be fine. Come here for support. Keep a journal. Talk to a counselor if you need to - whatever you have to do to keep your program going. We are all here for you!

If you don't believe that the 3's curse is real - ask anyone who has been here for longer than 3 months! They will tell you everything I just said is 100% fact. But now that you know its coming - and you know how to avoid disaster, you're going to be just fine. Yay for you! Have a great day!!!!
