Day 7

Well this week is finally over! I'm very proud to say I've gone an entire 7 days without sugar or diet coke! I knew I could do it-yet I had my doubts. I'm 6 1/2 pounds down as of this morning...YAY! Even though the hubby quit--I've still been going strong on my own! So..without further ado:

Weight: 191.6
Total weight loss: 6.5 pounds

Saturday lunch:
Chicken, lettuce, Melba toast, 1/2 grapefruit (chicken salad)
Dinner:
London broil, tomato, Melba toast, strawberries

Sunday lunch:
Bison burger, lettuce, Melba toast (didn't have time for the fruit)
Dinner:
Chicken cooked on the BBQ, onion, baked apple, Melba toast

I hope I have lost at least another pound tomorrow! I felt pretty skinny today...can't wait to keep watching it all melt away!

What's the point?

Yesterday I only lost .4 lbs. Today I gained .2...so what is the POINT!?!?!!? I am starving my butt off...but my butt is still there!!! LAME!!!! Getting really tempted to quit....

Day 5

Today is sort of depressing/hard. I did really well this morning and for lunch. I only lost 0.4 pounds, but I've read/heard that this is normal. I had a yummy lunch, I marinated some chicken in balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, pepper and a dash of Worcestershire sauce then broiled it and ate it with a tomato. It was SO good! Nice different flavor...

I had some melba toast later, and then an apple. The hard part began when my parents and sister showed up for a visit. My parents are doing this diet as well, but my sister is a skinny biotch that has never been fat EVER. So.....I thought it'd be fun to be around more people on the diet with me!
WRONG...my mom has had a hard time and all she could talk about was wanting to eat some peanut M&M's, and pop some popcorn. Then my sister warmed up her big slice of pizza from Costco--one of my favorites. I ate my Tilapia, pickle, and Melba toast for dinner...and was feeling proud of the fact that I resisted going to a wedding dinner with my fam. I knew I wouldn't be able to stay strong in the face of that much temptation.

THEN the hubby decided he can't do this diet. He just came down with a cold, and is worried that the diet won't mesh well with his school/work schedule. This is his 3rd time and he said the diet gets harder the more times you do it. I think it's hard no matter what, but mind over matter!!! So he just ate some gluten free pasta and sauce..and a handful of MY Melba toasts...needless to say I'm a little depressed. This is the first time I've done this well on a diet this extreme and now I just feel alone in my principles :)

Oh well...I will trek on and hopefully lose more weight tomorrow morning! Now I'm going to guzzle down the rest of my strawberry slushy and pray that the hunger pains go away....

Day 4

So today I am down to 194. According to the Wii I am still in the "obese" category, but only about 2 more pounds til I'm just "overweight" ha ha! Something to look forward to, since I have always been "obese"! Here's how things are going...

Tuesday dinner:
Shrimp & onions. SO good. The seasonings were borderline on too strong, but the shrimp tasted DIVINE...
I had a hard time this afternoon, so I had a Melba toast for a snack, early dinner component. I also sucked half of a lemon dry. SO good. Really tided me over for dinner. I took an Acai berry pill and it gave me the shakes..not doing that anymore!

Wednesday:
Lunch: Tilapia, Broccoli, Grapefruit
Dinner: Chicken, Tomato, Melba Toast, Apple

Thursday:
Lunch: Shrimp, cucumber (pickle), Melba toast, apple. (wasn't really in the mood for the apple..)
Dinner: Veal patty, mustard, tomato, melba toast, strawberry smoothie (strawberries, stevia, 1 Tbsp milk, ice)

Lost 1.5 lbs on Wednesday morning
Lost 1.1 lbs Thursday

Total weight lost: 11 lbs

I feel REALLY good. Tonight the hubby and I resisted dinner at a back to school party. I'm glad it wasn't a BBQ, no yummy smells wafting around. Just spaghetti, salad, bread and cobbler. It was a little hard to resist the cobbler but I kept saying, "It's just food...and I'm already full".

I'm amazed at how I'm already adjusted to this eating schedule. I'm not as starving or weak in the morning, and I make it through the day with a lot more energy. I can't wait to SEE the change!!!

Healthier Me...

This blog is mostly for my own benefit...but if anyone happens to read it then props to ya! I'm tracking my weight loss and eating habits, and helping myself stay motivated! Since I'm ADDICTED to food and find my dependence on sweets and caffeine to be dangerous...I've decided to start with the HCG diet. I never EVER thought I could do this diet. I watched my mom and husband struggle through it while I was pregnant and thought NO WAY..NOT ME. But here I am. I'm unable to lose it on my own and figured why not give this thing a try. Seems to work for everyone! So begins my journey...

Starting weight before binge: 198
After binge: 205
Today's weight (Day 4): 197
Total weight loss from original weight: 1 lb.

Yesterday I ate:
Lunch: Tilapia, Tomato, Melba Toast, Apple
Dinner: Chicken, broccoli, Melba Toast, 1/2 grapefruit

Today:
Morning snack: apple
Lunch: Chicken, tomato, melba toast
Dinner: Undecided. Probably shrimp and onions.

Hoping to lose at least 15 pounds total!

Here's to drinking lots of water and getting HEALTHY!!!
