    Please help. I have 11 days left on HCG (This is my first round) and I'm thinking I'm not cut out for this. I've obviously figured out that I love food just too much. I made my husband fried chicken (and the best friend chicken I've ever made) and I'm sitting here on the verge of tears because I want to eat it so bad.

    I dont know if I can handle 11 more days of torture. ANYTHING anyone can say to me to help bring me off the edge would be so helpful. PLEASE!

    Well Tina Marie,
    How much do you want to lose weight? Or is this fried chicken more important than that?
    11 days -- that's not that long.

    I'm down 14 lbs - I'm doing the 23 day. I want to lose a total of 45. My husband keeps telling me to look forward to loading on Phase 2, and that's the only thing that's kept me afloat.

    I'm also thinking this is PMS which is when I ALWAYS have cravings. Fried chicken obviously isn't more important, but it's a daily struggle - I swear I think this is the hardest thing I've ever done.

    maybe, I think just by being here and saying it out loud (Our virtually out loud) that this is helping. THANKS everyone =0)

    Hang in there!!! You'll be glad down the road when you aren't looking at ANOTHER round to get where you want.

    I know - Can I just kick my husband, who can eat anything and not gain a pound, in the process? UGH

    Tina. Dear, sweet Tina. Do you know what I have been doing since being on HCG for 32 days? Baking. Baking, baking, baking. Did I ever bake this much before? No. My husband is begging me to stop. He says I can keep baking if I give the stuff away and only hold on to a little for my family. It's been going on this way for at least two weeks. I think I must really loathe myself to compulsively bake.... well, that and the fact that I just got a really cool KitchenAid stand mixer off Craigslist.

    I have had half a dozen family parties/weddings in my time on HCG, too. I wish I could dive headfirst into any number of dishes that are forbidden to us. I have watched everyone around me eat the richest food that I would've happily eaten not that long ago. But then I remember that I am down 21 pounds. I am finally starting to fit into those pre-pregnancy clothes again, and not hating what I see in the mirror or in pictures. I go home, totally devoid of chocolate cake, but wake up either maintaining or losing weight when probably all of them packed it on.

    Short-term sacrifices for long-term goals. It is a lesson in being responsible for ourselves and not giving into our desire for instant gratification. This will make you stronger if you can stick it out!

    Sk8rgrrl - I have to give you credit. You are most certainly a stronger woman than I am!! WOW... baked goods are a weakness of mine. I love to cook, bake - and the fried chicken tonight was my idea - so I must be a massochist.

    I don't know how you survived the weddings either. I'll most definitely use you as motivation and inspiration - thank you!
