AFC!My Weight Loss
(just as a note, I am doing the HCG diet and you can read about how it works here: http://www.hcgdietinfo.com/Dr-ATW-Si...and-Inches.htm)
I am writing this blog entry so I can use it to look back and HOPEFULLY keep me motivated.
I started my diet on Monday, May 11th. I am going to just be totally honest on here because really this is for me and about me, but my starting weight was 241 (ugh, I can't believe how I have let myself go). I started the HCG diet. I did a lot of research about it and hope it works out for the best.
The first phase of this diet is to start giving yourself the HCG injection and EAT for the first two days. Eat to your hearts content (oh how I loved that part). On the 3rd day (today) I started on a 500 calorie diet. Let me tell you, 500 calories is not very much. I had nothing for breakfast (lots of coffee, tea and water). For lunch I had 100 grams of grilled chicken which I put on a handful of fresh spinage with a couple of cherry tomatoes. I squeezed lemon juice on the top. It really was delicious!! I had an apple when I got home from work because I really was hungry. I also drank lots of water during the day. For dinner I had pretty much the same meal. Yep, I have to admit....I was pretty hungry today. But they say that gets better on the 5th day or so. The HCG is supposed to help curb your appetite. So, I am pretty excited though. I just got on the scale (just curious, you know) and I have lost about 5 pounds! Maybe I am jumping the gun a little and will have gained it back by the time I get up in the morning...but I wanted to weight at night (when I got my starting weight).
Wish me luck and I will try to keep my progress posted.
I need to lose weight because I have gotten pretty sick of myself (I used to be pretty slim and cute) but now I don't want to go anywhere and don't even know why my husband still loves me and how he could POSSIBLY find me attractive. I am going to try to be committed to this FOR ME.
So, here we go....my first night of going to bed hungry
But I can do this and it WILL get easier!

Go! go! go! chellemorty. I'm cheering for ya. Good luck and looking forward to your postings about the weight loss. I need some pointers too. I still have the baby weight (he's now 2 years old) so have no excuses either.Posted 05-13-2009 at 12:36 AM by isavealot5 -
Just wanted to say good luck! This sounds like a strict diet; I know I couldn't do it. But I really hope it works for you!
I read somewhere, dieting is all about getting used to feeling hungry.

Thanks! Yes, it is a strict diet but the HCG is supposed to help suppress your appetite. It must be working because I really am not starving anymore! I hate diets!!Posted 05-14-2009 at 08:06 AM by ChelleMorty
