My Nutrisystem Diet Is Here

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Earlier this afternoon, I see the UPS driver approaching my house so I go ahead and open the door. It was this big brown box and I was thinking to myself, “Oh, what do we have here”? I thought maybe someone sent me a gift or that I had ordered something cool for myself and forgot. I signed for the package and brought it inside my house…I snuck a peak at the UPS label and it said Nutrisystem on it. And, instantly, my joy turned into sadness. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited at the prospect of losing weight…and I hope I really do lose weight. But starting a diet isn’t the most joyous moment of anyone’s life so there I was holding a big brown box w/ a frown on my face.

I pulled myself together and opened up the package to see what kind of Nutrisystem foods were in the box. Most of the foods actually surprised me and looked tasty. I’m not starting the diet until tomorrow so I’ll let you know how it tastes. The meals are split up between breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts. It took me a while to sort it all out but after all was said and done I had 35 meals for each category (I ordered 28 days plus received 7 days free food as a Nutrisystem promotion).

Over the next few months, I’ll write in more detail about my progress, the foods, and my overall thoughts on the Nutrisystem diet. As I mentioned before, my first day of dieting will begin tomorrow. In the meantime, here are additional pics of me unpacking my Nutrisystem order.

Based on first impressions, there seems to be a whole lot of food although the portions appear to be very controlled. But that’s to be expected. If there were a weight loss plan where portions were as big as entrees at The Cheesecake Factory, then everybody would be on that diet. I’m nervously excited about starting the diet. I’m wondering if I can do it w/o straying away and I’m also curious to see if I’ll actually lose weight if I see the diet through and through. I’ll keep you guys posted.
