Remember Jared, Subway’s spokesperson a few years that lost over 190 pounds by eating Subway? Seems he’s in the news again because of his recent weight gain!

He’s gained back about 40 lbs. His reasoning? “I admit, I let go of things, just thinking that my body had changed and I could go back to the way I was eating before.”

The same thing happened to Oprah, when she went on her massive weight loss years ago, then quickly gained it back. Why? She assumed her old emotional eating habits - when things get rough, “I dull the bad feelings with food.”

The lesson? You can’t let go of the reins. Ever.  You always have to stay in control.

Is this a drag? Not when you see the pay-off: a lean, shapely physique, and energy to burn! And you also gain the confidence to know that if you do slip, you can get right back on the healthy-eating bandwagon.

For those of you on my Best Shape Challenge, you know what I’m talking about…..we’re not doing a diet, it’s a lifestyle change and one you maintain for life. It’s not abstinence, it’s a conscious choice. Your choice!

Make a healthy weight goal and move towards it. Jared’s goal- to lose the weight before he gets married. What a nice goal! We all wish you well, Jared!

What’s your goal? Make it, and move toward it. It’s worth every ounce of effort. I promise!
