Well, tomorrow is my 7th day on Nutrisystem…of course everyone knows that equals a week. So far the good thing I can say is that I don’t feel bloated as often because I’m not stuffing my face like I normally do when I eat. I can’t help it though, I LOVE FOOD. It’s a curse..or is it?

My feelings on Nutrisystem so far are good. I know that my Aunt didn’t like it at all but to each his own right? So here are a few of my pros and cons:

Cons:
1. Portion sizes are tiny…I’m use to eating a lot more than that
2. Some of the items are Chef Boyarde (SP) tasting.
3. Everything seems to have a tomato base (which so far not so bad but I’m not really suppose to eat tomatoes)
4. It’s kind of creepy how you don’t have to refrigerate anything

Pros:
1. The food in general tastes pretty good (maybe it’s just because I’m use to the taste of Chef Boyarde, you can blame my Mom!)
2. The food is already portioned for you.
3. You don’t really have to cook anything, zap it in the microwave and go!
4. Seems to work

I can say that if you ever try the program DO NOT and I will repeat DO NOT get the scrambled eggs. I’m not a huge fan of scrambled eggs anyway but these come in a powder form and you zap it in the microwave after adding water. Then you watch it puff up..kind of cool I guess..until you eat it. It does taste somewhat eggs but the second it starts cooling off, it gets rubbery and my spoon and fork couldn’t even cut through it. Luckily I traded that back in for the muffins.

My favorites so far:

1. Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar (of course!)
2. BBQ Soy Chips (these sounded disgusting at first but actually manage to taste like a chip)
3. Bean and Ham Soup
4. Thick Crust Pizza (Wish all my dinners were these)

So, I run out of stuff on April 30th. My goal is to lose 10 lbs by May 3rd. I hope I can accomplish it!
