    Hey everyone!

    P2D6 and feeling FABULOUS!

    I had a great realization today that I blogged about in my new HCG diet blog: http://hcgdietblog.tumblr.com/

    I have always had poor self esteem, and today when I realized all along that food was what was holding me back from loving myself, I found it silly. I thought to myself: ITS JUST FOOD!

    And so here is my motivational quote: THE ONLY THING KEEPING ME FROM LOVING MYSELF IS ME! THESE FEELINGS ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE UNLESS I CHANGE"

    changing my eating habits will change my body, and changing my body will change my self-consciousness, and changing my self-consciousness will change my self-esteem, and changing my self esteem will CHANGE ME!!!!!!

    (sorry if I sound like an after school special... But sometimes in life we need to be our own cheerleaders)

    Aly you are so right, congrats on your losses! Food should never have power over us and it always has to me too. Not anymore!

    Aly you are so beautiful! I just read your blog and saw so much of myself in your words. I feel great on this diet and today marks 1 week since I started. I am down 9.6 lbs and have never felt better. Last night one of my close friends and I watched a movie. He was pigging out on popcorn, chocolate, sour patch kids (my fav candy in the world) and whatever else you can name. He dropped $15 on junk food at walgreens. I drank my water. This was at his house so none of this food is in my place. Anyhow, most people would be tempted or frustrated at watching someone eat junk like that. I didn't care. I sat on a separate part of the couch away from him so I wasn't even bothered by it. I thought it would be hard being around friends who are eating normal foods but my willpower is strong and I tell myself exactly what you are saying....it's just food who cares!

    You are better than I am...My husband eats CRAP in front of me and I just look at him and say "I hate you!" (in a joking loving manner of course- I dont hate my husband!!) Sometimes I need to go in the other room. But I think I am just starting to get over it!

    Thanks so much for reading my blog! At the top where it says "submit your story" is a place for other HCGers to share their thoughts... I encourage everyone to do that! Hearing other people's stories is great motivation too!!!

    I agree that this diet has definitely changed my feelings about food. I just don't care about food like I used to. I just ambivalent towards eating. I just eat because I have to, eat what I need and move on. It's amazing how much my mindset has changed!

    Food has been an issue for so long for me it is unreal. I have dieted and gained since I was in the 5th grade. I am now 50. I even had stomach stapling in my 20's. It worked for a while but the after a while it stops. I plan on controling it from now on. Eat for fuel. Listen to my body and don't let the pounds get the best of me. I can control 2 pounds weight gain not 10 or 20. I have a long road to go, I have lost 10 pounds so far and I want to lose 70 total. My doctor said I could probably lose 30 the first round so I feel that this will be a journey of about a year. Hopefully I will be near target my next birthday(February). My husband and I use eating out as recreation. We will need to find something else.

    Exactly! It really makes you think about food in a whole new way. Before this diet I didn't THINK about what I was eating at all- I just ate it.
