Well, I fell off......in a very bad way. The last part of my summer was a whirlwind of vacation, surgery, back-to-school, softball, and Lord knows what else. Let's just say it was bad. Very bad. I gained back everything I had lost. Sad but true.
So, here I am....AGAIN. Trying to get this weight off. Now. I know there are many out there that swear only by healthy eating and exercising. I am here to say that while I do agree, I also think that there are times where a little extra intervention is needed. I spent a year watching what I was eating, exercising very regularly, and not moving the scale...AT ALL! Maybe within a 10 pound window. BUT, with the needed 60 to lose, this is nothing when the fluctuation was so crazy.
I have sworn that since my first pregnancy 12 years ago, my hormones have been jacked up to hell and back and never got back to normal after my daughter was born. It just didn't make sense that I was eating right and exercising and lot losing like I should. Well, I yo-yo dieted, and yes, that didn't help either. So, I have gone another route this time, trying to get this grossness off of my body. I have witnessed many successes and believe this just might be what I need to get my body fully back in line where it needs to be. I began, on Saturday, the homeopathic HCG diet.
Day 1 and 2 were FAT HEAVY foods with the drops. Those were actually good days, and I thought that I would have reveled in the "premission" to eat everything I wanted with no guilt. I don't know if it was the drops, or my conscience, but I wasn't able to eat as much as my normal appetite would have allowed.
Monday was my first day on the drops and my 500cal diet. It was not as bad as I thought, but at the end of the day, I am hungry. The diet protocol says that by the end of the first week, my body should be adjusted to the drops and diet and my hunger and cravings should dissappear.
Tuesday, I did some adjustments on WHEN I was taking my drops, and that seems to have made things better. I can tell that my appetite is adjusting nicely.
As the true skeptic that I am, I still am in amazement that I have awakened each morning to a 1+ pound loss. It is crazy! So far I am down 3.4 pounds. YAY!!!
We shall see. I am always the skeptic, but also always the one to jump at trying something new.
