I really learned my lesson Friday night! NO MORE CHEATING, no matter how little!!!!! Most people, when they cheat, they REALLY cheat! I just had ONE ounce of alcohol, 2 bites of pork, and 3 "good for you" cookies. But it has really set me back. For the last 4 days, I have followed my diet to a "T", yet I am only down to 208.5 pounds which is only .5 pounds down from where I was at on Friday morning (209 pounds) before my indiscretions Friday night. So I am into this diet for 3-1/2 weeks now and have only lost 11 pounds. That is at least TEN pounds less than I should have lost according to the promise by Dr. Simeons "Pounds and Inches". Yes I have lost a couple inches altogether, the most of which is from the bust, of course. But still, it is not the loss that I SHOULD have! Especially when I know that when I did this 3 years ago, I lost 14 pounds in 14 days and I was tending bar at the time so I was even drinking alcohol on the diet and I didn't stick completely to the vlcd. Imagine what I would have lost then if I would have stuck completely to the diet.
I have tried everything, at this point, to make this diet more successful and the only thing that I can think of that might be an issue (which they say shouldn't be an issue) is that I am almost completely sedentary. I don't work so all I do is a little cleaning of the house and running an errand once in a while and grocery shopping..... oh! and a bit of gardening and a little bit of yard work. Hell! Since this diet, I don't even do my cooking anymore, and I'm a chef by trade. So maybe if I was more active I would have more loss???? IDK!!!! The diet claims that you don't need to exercise, that it is not necessary with this diet but maybe this diet EXPECTS that you at least do some kind of regular activity daily?????? So, if that is the case, then maybe this .42 pounds a day is pretty good. No matter what! It IS better than what I was doing without the diet but I still feel like I am starving myself. My mom is doing Weight Watchers and has lost 29 pounds in.... ohhhhh, probably about 4 or 5 months maybe longer and she is really happy with it especially since she gets to eat whatever she wants. She just has to watch how much she eats and the points it totals up to. I don't know if I could keep up with all of the calories, fat, carbs .... conversion - points thing. Sounds like a pain in the butt. But then the hcg diet is a pain in the butt in the fact that I am hungry all of the time and I soooo crave my REAL food. I just did the math. Comparing to Weight Watchers... if 11 pounds would be all I lose for the rest of this month, my first month on the diet, and that is the average of weight that I would lose per month, then in 4 months I would have lost 44 pounds compared to my moms 29 pounds. That makes me feel a lot better about having chosen hcg over W.W.'s.
Well, that is all of my thoughts today. Peace out and HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!!!
