It’s Day 12…The Half Way Mark on My HCG Diet
Posted on 30. Dec, 2009 by Amelia Handley in Diet & Nutrition
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! Dang it! I’m doing great. And I’m happy with my weight loss so far. But I’ve hit a few road blocks.
Today I weighed myself. I took my HCG as necessary for breakfast and lunch and then I took my third dose in the evening. I’ve been noting my daily weight down as suggested on the pad of paper by my bed. I’ve only forgotten once so far and I think that is a fabulous track record. Today my weight went down one pound; which is great! I’m at 160 pounds officially. That makes 11 pounds of weight loss within 12 days of HCG dieting. According to the diet reviews I’m right on track to meet the weight loss averages.
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.
The next place I now know I should NEVER enter while on a low calorie diet is a family party. My sweet niece’s birthday party was today. They were serving lunch so I didn’t eat before I left. Long story short…lunch was delayed; it because dinner. I was absolutely starving.
Waiting too long to eat is a definite problem. I’ve already noticed that. But this day was way worse than the sitting at home and didn’t make lunch until I was actually hungry day. I think my stomach was actually starting to eat itself. And then they served up barbequed sausage and turkey legs; which is absolutely fabulously yummy, but WHAT? Where was all the grilled chicken? Along with that I had the choice of Caesar salad or potato salad. I’ll cut the long story short and say…well, I did avoid the cake. That’s saying something, right? I should have paid more attention to those diet reviews before I put myself in the midst of a family party. I should have put some grilled chicken in a baggie in my purse or something. (Although that sounds really gross…)
Amelia Handley studied exercise science in college with a minor in Nutrition. Yet she still found herself veering from diet to diet in order to control her weight. With HCG Diet Direct she’s found a program that allows her to combine her desire to control her own body weight with her education and not feel off balance.
