UPS? Are You Bringing My HCG?

By Amelia Handley

This is Article 8. If you've missed the first seven articles...go backwards and catch up because it's a series that will take you right through my process as I do the HCG diet. My friend, Lisa, is doing it with me. It should be great. (Well...it will be tough, but the results should be great!) At the moment I'm just waiting for my package from UPS! I ordered it the day before yesterday so I keep trying to tell myself that it's too soon to expect a package that I didn't expedite in the first place, but I can't quite stop glancing out the window when a vehicle goes by.

I called Lisa to make sure she hadn't received her's before me and she hasn't seen hide nor hair of the delivery man either; so at least that's good news. Online shopping has made a spoiled brat of me; not only do I expect to be able to buy HCG with a Mastercard, Visa or Discover card, but I expect to be able to buy it online and to see it delivered to my door within the week. I've got high expectations, I know. But that's what happens when you're dealing with a savvy, online shopper.

So far my high expectations have been met. I did buy HCG with a Mastercard, Visa or Discover card (I chose Visa this time around...I try to take turns so no one card feels more loved than the others). And I did purchase the product online which is another aspect of my high retail expectations. And I have no reason to believe that my high expectations for speedy delivery will not be met. I did already receive a status update that changed it from ordered to "shipped." And that was within 4 hours of my initial order (I checked).

So I'm pretty happy with HCG Diet Direct so far. Their website was easy, informative. Their checkout process was secure and simple. And I did have the option to expedite my package; I just didn't want to pay extra since I wasn't really in that big of a rush. So the fact that I keep checking my porch for a package that hasn't yet arrived is entirely my fault. I just need to calm down a bit and pretend I know how to be patient. To distract myself I've been pulling up different recipes posted online for use with the HCG diet. They're pretty much EVERYWHERE! I'm not sure if some of them are actually following the rules, though.

So I decided before I try any or even print any off I need to get my official instructions and guidelines from HCG Diet Direct (not to mention their cookbook that will be included in my order). That way I won't be disappointed if any of the supposedly HCG approved recipes I'm finding online actually aren't what HCG Diet Direct would label "approved."

I'm absolutely going to follow the rules. No bending; no breaking! That's my motto. I've heard that's what you've got to do in order to see the results you want. So I'm all for it! - 17274
