So I went for my first weigh in after being on the HcG diet for one week and I lost 14.6 pds (oh yes I am counting the .6!) I told myself last night anything over 7 I would be very satisfied with. I have taken my last B12 shot (for now) so I am not sure how much of the shot contributed to it.
I have to say that I have not felt hungry all week and the only side effects were a couple of minor headaches that Advil took care of - the headaches could be from the lack of soda as well. This diet is very limiting but I feel in my heart that it is going to be successful for me. I know that if I can do this I can transition when I am not doing this diet to a healthy style of eating and be able to maintain control.
The hardest thing about this week was at times coming to terms with (although I have said it before) the fact that I am clearly addicted to food. I felt when I was around sweets or just yummy delicious food (thanks JOJO) that my whole mind and body was attracted to it and had a clear desire for it. And was getting irritable not getting it. I am proud that this week has been a major victory both in my weight that I have lost but maybe more importantly the choices I have been able to make : picking up fast food for Wes and not getting something for myself and eating it on the car ride home (because no one would know- which yes I admit I have done all to often!) Staying on the diet when I left my food at my house when staying at my moms- normally I would have packed it in and said oh I'll just start again on Monday.
To Quote my Mom "It took me Thirty year to put on the weight" and it will be a process getting it off but I believe that if I can follow this diet I will succeed and the daunting task in front of me that is the amount I need to lose might seem alittle more doable!!
