Well that is how my emotions are, but I am happy to report that my weight is down, has stayed down and continues to go down. YAY!!!! I am down 10 pounds. It has been a long, hard road. This has been one of the hardest weeks I've had in a long time. It's interesting what a psychological part of eating is. It may not be the same for everyone, but it is definitely me. Food soothes me, calms me, reduces my stress and I thoroughly enjoy it!
This also been a hard week too. I have completely finished breastfeeding and pumping and am in MAJOR pain! Plus I am sure I have hormones galore going on.
We went to a wedding Saturday night and it was the first time since my diet that I was around "food". It was really tempting not to just eat some and see how much remorse I would feel. They served Chinese food which is one of my faves. Then the cake, oh my gosh the cake, there was one layer that was chocolate with a fudge middle, it looked delish!!! Michael didn't get any luckily or I might have had a taste!!
That saying, "Nothing tastes as good as thin" is SO true. I bought a new shirt a few weeks back and couldn't fit in to it. I thought to give it another try and I wore it yesterday and it looked great.
I have noticed the weight loss in my face and my back - I have less back fat!! YAY!!!
If I can do this diet anyone can. One thing that has helped is having my meat prepared and ready to go in the mornings. Michael has been a big support which is great! And then I also found the DIYHCG FaceBook page and they have lots of recipe and meal ideas.
I think the may thing to do on HCG is get creative with your meals, so that you don't get bored and make stupid rash eating choices. I also researched the maintenance on this diet and I think it'll be relatively easy because A) I won't want to gain any weight back and B) There is nothing wrong with eating completely healthy. I want to be a good example to my daughter and I don't her to have a weight problem.
I can have wedding cake, candy, popcorn and peanut butter rice crispy treats BUT in moderation!! There is nothing wrong with that concept at all!!!
It's all what you KNOW! And I KNOW I am enjoying this weight loss thing.
