Eight months after joining Juice Plus...

... Jenny has decided it's time to start taking her weight loss plan seriously.

For context, Jenny is engaged and planning for a wedding. Taking aside her JP antics, that is fantastic news and I hope when the day comes she, her fiancé, friends and loved ones have a wonderful day. Naturally, Jenny is thinking about how she will look in her wedding dress and suddenly the issue of losing weight becomes more of a priority.

But to say that she has "started" to do something about it EIGHT MONTHS after joining JP does not fill me with confidence. How can someone who has been promoting health products and the idea that she can help people on their weight loss journey take so long to address her own obesity? That is absurd. It is like an alcoholic helping others go dry in between swigs of beer and vodka.

The problem here is that it is highly likely based on Jenny's past history that her motivation will die away and her usual habits will remain. The clearest indication of this is the simple fact that her mind is focused on the wedding dress; it is all about looking good for one day. Yet the most frustrating aspect about this is the one thing Jenny seems to have no problem being motivated for... is JP. Eight months into this scam and she still believes this is an excellent business opportunity, oblivious to the blatant red flags that this is a pyramid scheme.

Short-termism is a common mistake by people, particularly new years resolutioners, who commit to weight loss and fitness without properly understanding that this has to be a lifestyle change. It can't just be for the sake of looking good at a wedding. To look good and feel good you have to commit to a diet where you cannot "cheat" pretty much every day. Want to build muscle? You need to go to the gym on a fairly regular basis.

Which brings me back to JP. For all the capsules, shakes and boosters people like Jenny has consumed and spent money on, she's made no progress whatsoever. If anything she is even more obese than when she started this charade. I, meanwhile, have spent not a penny on JP products and am in the best shape of my life - simply by counting my calories, eating a decent diet and going to the gym three times a week.

It would be fantastic to see Jenny lose the weight, be ready for her wedding and generally become a more healthier person with a better understanding of exercise and nutrition, but sadly I do not see it happening. While she remains wrapped up in this JP nonsense, she will continue to be played like a fiddle. And that's just sad.
