Day 2
So I'm on the second day of loading, I did a very good job! I had my favorite Starbucks drink for breakfast, my favorite pizza for lunch, my favorite burger for dinner and then frozen yogurt for dessert! I didn't weigh myself today and I don't plan on weighing myself tomorrow. I don't want to know if or how much I gained these last two days. So, tomorrow it begins! I'm a little nervous because I know it's going to be hard, but I'm also so excited to meet the happy girl that I was several years ago! What a lot of people don't know is how much emotional weight is gained along with physical weight. I feel bad about myself in so many ways that I have allowed these bad feelings to control what I do with my family and what I do with myself. I let moments go by that I may never get back just because I don't want people to see me like this, pretty pathetic huh! So, although this is going to be hard and I'm going to hate all the times I have to miss out on food, I'm going to complete this! I will be releasing the beautiful, confident, sexy, powerful woman that I have covered up with fat for the last four years! She is in here and she is coming out, starting with my hard boiled egg for breakfast tomorrow morning!

Day 1
I have decided to start the Hcg diet. I have tried this diet twice before and was unable to complete it. The first time I had good success and lost over 10 pounds in two weeks. The second time I only made it five days and can't remember how much I lost because it wasn't enough. My plan now is to follow the diet, all the way through to the end and see what I am actually capable of.
For me, this diet will be extremely challenging since I LOVE food. I love to eat, it makes me feel good! When I've had a bad day or I'm depressed, nothing makes me feel better than eating a bowl of ice cream or a box of chili cheese fries. Each day I'm going to write a post detailing my day and my trials and tribulations of this diet. And then maybe at the end, I may allow someone else to read this besides me.
So, where to begin? When I was 26 I was a mom of a 4 yr old and a 1 yr old, working nights and taking care of the girls during the day. A friend that I worked with suggested that we begin working out together. That was the best thing that ever happened to me physically! Susan and I worked out for at least two hours a day, five days a week. We started with a trainer in an aerobic/strength training class and then moved on to just lifting and cardio activity. Then I got one of the best jobs I have ever had! I was working at the police department 8 hours a day five days a week. So, the working out disappeared.
Along with that great job I had, I did go through a divorce, began dating someone, broke up with him and then met the man of my dreams! Along with the amazing man, the great job and the best four children a woman could ask for, I began gaining pounds as well. They came on slowly at first and it was managable. So now fast forward to July 2010 when I had a hysterectomy. Since then I have gained 25 pounds, not something I am proud of! Since then I have tried several diets, weight watchers, working out, not eating at all, ugh! I'm at the end of my rope with this dieting yo yo that I am on!
So today is Day 1, I had my injection this morning and then did the first day of loading. I didn't eat as much as I possibly could like what Dr Simeon says to do, but I did have a valentine peeps and pepsi before bed. I started out my day at 181.4 lbs, it will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. I will take pictures and measurements tomorrow and hopefully have more to say.
