It's Day 12...The Half Way Mark on My HCG Diet
I've been reading more diet reviews. It makes me feel better about the things that are tough for me; because they're repeated over and over. One thing that I see repeated a lot in the diet reviews for HCG is that you should just try to stay home. The programs aren't very long so it's kind of feasible. And I absolutely agree that I'm much more likely to successfully complete the day if I am home when it's time to eat. It's my Day 12 on the diet. I'm in the midst of a 25 day program (homeopathic HCG through HCG Diet Direct). And I've got Lisa, a friend of mine, doing the diet with me simultaneously. We've got a side bet going to add some extra inspiration to do well! And I always like to win...
But I might not! I just had to say it once and now I'm going to go back to acting as if I'm totally going to win hands down. I've lost a ton of weight. I'm doing fine and I'm identifying pitfalls as they come so that I can avoid them.
The day started off the same as usual. I got up and weighed myself. I've done pretty well so far remembering to note down my weight daily. I went down one pound. And I'm always good with one pound down. I'm officially at 160. That means I've lost a total of 11 pounds in 12 days. I'm liking the sound of that.
I thought sticking to the diet would be easy once I started to lose weight. And while I like the weight loss and it makes me want to eat correctly...I wouldn't say it's easy. It's tough. I should have known I was thinking too optimistically; I mean I did read diet reviews that warned me. But it's helping me to identify "Do not enter" places. The first one I identified was the Mall Food Court. You already heard that story and I won't bore you by telling it again.
Today I identified another problem location: family parties. I went to my niece's birthday party. I took my HCG in the morning. I took my B-Total. I took my HCG again before I left for the party. It was supposed to be a barbeque lunch. So we didn't eat before we left. But as sometimes happens at family parties there were delays; barbeque lunch because barbeque dinner and I was STARVING!
That in itself is a problem. But the other problem was that they barbequed sausage and turkey legs (neither of which are okay for the HCG diet). They also had potato salad (a big unh-uh) and Caesar Salad (can there BE a more fattening green salad) and cake. I don't know why I assumed they'd have some grilled chicken. So long story short. I had a turkey leg. I had some potato salad. And I had some Caesar Salad. I did stay away from the cake. But that's such a small victory in comparison to the other concessions I made. I'm dreading getting on the scale tomorrow. I do not want to go up. I want to lose more weight than Lisa so she has to buy me a pair of jeans...I feel like I should get online and add to the number of diet reviews that points out this particular issue. But I guess I'll wait until the diet is complete so I can leave a review with all information disclosed at once. - 17274
