Commit2Fit Fridays: Interview with Subway Jared, #Win $25 GC (closed)

ByLisa Johnston

Congratulations to Julie H!

This week we will be wrapping up the Commit2Fit Campaign and series with some very encouraging words from the man himself, Jared Fogle.

One of the big things in learning to live a healthy life as well as achieving weight loss is to not get discouraged if you are in a funk, fall off the wagon for a bit, or even hit a plateau or gain a little weight back. Invisa-RED Treatment is a great, non-invasive treatment that can help with weight loss.

I had the privileged of interviewing Jared while I was in NYC with Subway representatives to kick off the Commit to Fit Movement, and his words were very inspiring to me, because I’ve been in a bit of a weight loss funk lately – especially right here during the holidays where there is food galore, and let’s face it… I love to eat, too!

Me:
So you’ve lost all this weight, and then we watched you gain some of it back. How did you deal with that emotionally, knowing that you gained some back and then have to get back to where you were.

Jared Fogle InterviewJared:
There’s been times over the past 11 or 12 years where I’ve gained a a few pounds back.  I still love to eat.  I’m always going to love to eat the wrong foods.  So when they can make a carrot stick that tastes as good as a mozzarella cheese stick….  I’ve just accepted that it’s going to be like that.  It happens sometimes.  If I get to that point, I just have to work out more.

I refuse to let myself have to buy more clothing…

…so once I get to that point to where the buttons are really hard to (button) “Alright, I know it’s that point – enough is enough.”  Then you have to just pull yourself back.  But I know how it gets.  It’s a challenge every day.  I have my good days, and I have my not so good days.  I just really try to not put myself in that position again.

You know, I think that’s a good standard to live by!  Just refuse to let yourself buy more clothing (in the opposite direction)!

If you’re like me, and in a huge slump, here’s something to give you a jump start back in the RIGHT direction!

Subway will be giving one of my readers a $25 gift card to help you get back on the right track with eating fresh and more healthy!

  54. I would keep it for myself, but would likely use it for more people than just me. My belly doesn’t seem to like bread that much anymore, So the card would probably go around for along time.

  221. I would put this in my son’s stocking at Christmas. He lives in a little town that has two restaurants – and one of them is Subway!

  229. I would keep it. There is a Subway right by where I work, and it would help me save on lunch while I’m working.

    beckytag618 at gmail dot com

  258. I would keep the card myself, but the purchases would be half and half: Chances are, I would go to Subway and get some sandwiches for myself and some for my family

  267. I enjoy Subway and would use the certificate to buy lunch for me and the girls in the office. Money is tight and I’m sure they’d appreciate a good, free lunch.

  268. I would give it to my daughter. She works hard everyday and deserves to treat herself to a lunch or two.

  271. Truthfully I’d keep it for myself…unless I get desperate for a gift and then I’ll give it away!

    wolverina401 at gmail dot com

  272. I would give it to my husband. He’s always having to eat lunch out when he’s on the road.

  276. Truthfully, I’d keep it for myself. Who wouldn’t? Subways menu is delicious. I’d probably use it all on the meatball soups and the chicken soup.

  278. I honestly think that I would keep this and then treat my kids when they come over one night 🙂

    deb55106{at}gmail{dot}com

  284. I would keep this for myself because not many other places offer quick low fat vegetarian options but Subway has a great veggie sub.

  287. I would keep this for us because Subway is one of the only few fast food places we eat at. I also like the Veggie Sub!!
    That is very cool that you got a chance to meet Jared. I think he has always been a good role model and it is nice to hear that he is ‘real’ and honest.
    Thanks!

  288. I would honestly give this to my son. He is prediabetic and needs to loose weight maybe this will help some

  306. I would put it in my teen son’s Christmas stocking. He LOVES Subway and it would be a treat for him to be able to stop by. Thanks.

  309. Truthfully, I’ll keep it and use it when I’m out & about this season to eat better. Thanks for the contest.

  313. Thanks for the giveaway…a Subway gift card means lunch/dinner for the kids after their basketball game !

  319. Keep the card myself, since my family and I enjoy eating Subway sandwiches every now and again

  330. I would actually treat the family, that’s just over what we spend on a Subway order- so one of our crazy busy days would be just that little bit easier and one of us would pick up the order while we were out and about.

  347. I won a $250 Subway GC when they had that big giveaway earlier this year, so I can honestly say that if I won this, I’d give it my son in college who loves Subway but has trouble remembering to eat.

  369. I would actually give it to a friend who is working very hard at losing weight. She has lost 40 and has about another 60 to go. This would be perfect!

  373. our family would use it. there are 6 of us and we could all eat really well with some $5 footlongs!

  386. I would use this card to take my kids to Subway, we have one a few blocks away and they love to eat there!

  394. I will be giving it to my husband if I win. He is trying to lose weight and get more fit so this would be a healthy and tasty encouragement for him 🙂

  396. I would love to keep this but it would make a super gift to give to someone.
