The HCG new you

It is a mazing how losing weight changes a person.  Not only on the outside (appearance) but on the inside as well (mentally).  Just in four weeks, with a loss of 23 lbs I am prouder, I walk taller, I feel so much better about myself.  I would still be stuck and not know which way to go if it were not for my bff and affordablehcgdiet.  What a great support group.

Not a good HCG Weekend

My Saturday started with having to drive an hour and half to pick my daughter up from a friends house.  I was kinda bla and forgot to eat breakfast before leaving th ehouse.  So I stopped at  mcdonadls and got a sausage patty.  It was yuck.  Then for lunch decided to eat a bowl of chili with my husband.  Had stir fry for dinner which was really good and the only hcg thing I had all day.  Sunday was even worse because it was super bowl sunday.  I kept my witts about myself because I didn't want to gain to much weight.  I think my bff thought I had lost interest in losing weight and was a little concerned about me.  But I told my husband Sunday morning that I couldn't wait till Sunday was over so I could get back on track.  And here I am back on track.  Yay.  I gained 2.4lbs those two days, it could have been alot worse.  affordablehcgdiet, sure is the one for me.  I would have been so over any other diet by now.

Going out to eat

I used to love to go out to eat with firends.  Now I kinda dread it.  It isn't that I don't enjoy the company, it is just so hard.  When I am home for the most part my family eats what i eat.  That isn't the case when we go out.  I have done really well on our outings, except for the one where I didn't have a choice of eating from a menu, I had two choices and neither one of them were acceptable.  I do have more will power than I have ever had in my life.  I really can't explain why this diet is so different from any other diet I have ever been on.  But it is truely amazing and so are the people that run it.  Thanks again affordablehcgdiet you all are the best.

What to do

With superbowl Sunday fastly approaching us I just cant seem to quit thinking about it.  All the food and jello shots.  I have went back and forth with myself saying that I was just going to cheat that day.  I actually can't believe how much thought I have put into this.  It is crazy.  So I decided that I am telling my family that I am going to cheat on sunday.  That way if I do decide to cheat they won't be telling me I am doing something wrong.  But at the same time I have the option of not cheating and no one but me will really know the difference.  So what am I going to do?  I am going to quit fretting over it and whatever happens, happens.

The day to day is the only way

I have found while being on this diet that I have a very strong will power.  I wasn't aware of that before starting this diet.  I have never ever weighed my food.  And hated counting calories on previous diets.  But every morning I can't wait to plan out my day of food.  I started using myfitnesspal and wow does that really help.  I realized the other day after a 2lb loss that I had eaten every bit of my 500 caloires, all my veggies, all my fruits and all my meats.  I walked for 30 minutes.  Then the next day I stayed the same.  The day I stayed the same I had only had 435 calories and I had walked.  So I started looking back at my meals for the week and all my meals had been 450 calories and under.  I believe it was Heather at http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/ that told me NO NO, Michelle you can not do that.  So I have made some adjustments to make sure that I am getting every bit of 500 calories, all my veggies, fruits and meats and wow what a difference. 

Post HCG Diet

Before I started my HCG diet I didn't even know what I weighed.  I didn't want to know what I weighed and just kept ignoring the fact that my clothes got smaller and smaller.  I went to the Dr. in November 2011 for my physical and come to find out my trigliserites are sky high, cholesterol was high and both my mom and dad have had heart attacks.  They put me on a statin and niacin.  I have been taking perscription for Acid reflux and it was bad.  I came to the conclusion that something had to change.  I am 45 years old and not ready to take medicine every day for the rest of my life if I don't have to.  My very dear friend who I met at the campground that we both stay at in the summer told me to check out http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/ I did check it out and here I am three weeks into the program 21.2 lbs down.  I have only taken two (2) acid reflux pills since I have been on this diet.  Before that i was taking two a day.  I feel so much better.  No one know how much I weighed before I started this diet, but everyone knows now.  I started at 234.6 and I am now at 213.4.  I have met my first goal of getting below 220 and now working on second goal of getting below 210.  Of course the next goal is under 200.  But the long term goal is to reach 165 to 170.  affordablehcgdiet.com has been so supportive and so helpful, not only to me but to everyone.  I read everyone elses stories and they are just so inspirational.  Thank you to Barbra Bailey (my bff) and http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/  You are definately the best diet I have ever been on.
