Jenny Craig - Successful Case

Dear Jenny,

I am 52 years old and my first diet was 34 years ago, I wanted to lose 20 pounds to look good. Since I am the proverbial "yo-yo", I have gained and lost many times over the years. The word "embarrassing" doesn’t begin to explain my emotions of gaining weight. I needed to get my act together and my life back.

My doctor had been urging me to lose weight for years…he’d say, "Don’t let it get away from you", and then he put me on medicine for high blood pressure and metabolic disorder. Next he’d tell me, "Just keep your mouth shut and the food can’t get in!" And finally last year he said "you really should be on insulin now, get it under control." Now I love and respect my doctor, but it didn’t sink in until my ophthalmologist said good news, no retina damage from your diabetes." My mind said "whoa" diabetes? Can I really damage my eyes by eating poorly? What should I do? I weighed my options: 1. Liquid diet? Others have done it, I can too. 2. Rice and fruit? Horrible, but better than going blind. 3. Dehydrated? Tastes like cardboard 4. Surgery? Pay $10,000+ to go under the knife and still probably gain it back.

Here’s the good part and the reason I’m writing you…..I said NO, this time it is for the rest of my life — Jenny Craig is helping me put my weight issue to bed for good. The food is excellent (being from Texas I could not give up my enchiladas and I don’t have to yours are wonderful), it’s so easy to order from my wonderful consultant, and it costs way less than non Jenny Craig food (store or restaurant).

My life has changed so much….. I’m stress free, energetic, confident and happy! My last vacation with my husband, sister, and brother-in-law was hiking in the mountains. We planned a hike up a mountain to a beautiful lake for a picnic. When we arrived at the lake (I, of course, got there first) my husband pulled out a baggy of aspirin and said to me, "I guess you won’t be needing these then." Unbeknownst to me, he was worried I would have a heart attack. (My sister also showed me her baggy of aspirin). Now the joke is — they could not keep up with me! I offered everyone Jenny Craig and apples from my backpack and ate looking at the beautiful lake and surrounding mountains.

Thanks to my consultant, Janessa, I am learning alternatives to old habits. Being a nibbler, I was always picking at food while preparing a meal. Anyone around kids 3-5 years old understands how hard it is to explain why you can’t eat that food they are trying to stick in your mouth and share with you because they love you so much! Now I fixed two obstacles with one solution: The kids and I make an appetizer plate with all our favorites… cucumbers, carrots, celery, mushrooms and tomatoes. I can nibble and they can share all they want with me. It’s the perfect solution.

Jenny Craig has helped me so much thus far, its hard to write it all down…I have lost 68lbs with your help, but wait…I have another 50 lbs to go to my go and I now have the confidence to say, "I guarantee you I’ll make it!" So look for another letter & pictures…you won’t believe your eyes!!!

Sincerely, Nancy
