Day 3 (Day 1 of VLCD)

Okay I woke up this morning, emptied my bladder and stepped on the hideous scale. That thing is just not very friendly. It said 222lb, which is actally a lb lighter than yesterday (which is strange since it was a load day, but I'll take the lb loss)

223 - 08/11/2011 starting weight
222- 08/12/2011 first day starting VLCD (very low calorie diet) phase 2

okay after stepping off that hideous scale (which I hope becomes more friendly as this diet progresses) I went to do my HCG drops. Of course you have to wait 30 min. before eating or drinking anything after the drops. We were on our way to take my dd to allergy dr. when I was able to have "breakfast" which consisted of an apple and lots of water.

Did HCG drops at least 30 min before
Lunch- 3oz lean sirloin steak & steamed broccoli (also lots more water)

Did HCG drops at least 30 min. before
Supper- 3oz of lean ground hamburger meat, lettuce, tomato & one melba toast. LOTS more water

Suprisingly I haven't been as hungry today as I thought I would be, which is very good. Night eating is usually the worst for me. But I'm hanging strong!! Day 1 down...

We will see what tomorrow holds in store for me. Wish me luck. I seriously need to lose this weight, for health reasons.

Days 1 & 2 Load Days

Okay so on the HCG diet you are told to load to capacity on days 1 & 2. Funny thing is, when you first hear this, you think "Alright, I like this no problem" but then you have started taking the drops and this great thing suddenly doesn't seem so great. You're just not as hungry as you were before starting the drops. So I've tried to load as well as I could without throwing up (which is what I feel like doing instead)..

Tomorrow I start the strict stage. Praying it goes well. I've been having bad headaches before I even began this diet. I'm praying they do not get worse. I've heard the first few days can be rough, but after that it gets better. I went for a CAT scan yesterday on my head due to severe headaches, memory loss & vision problems lately (trouble focusing). Hopefully I will get my results tomorrow.

Okay so the real tough journey begins tomorrow. Wish me luck!
