Hello HCG Gang!

I am so excited to start that I don’t know what to say first.

I am 34 years old and recently relocated to San Diego - my childhood dream to live in CA. One month into getting here, my body gave out & my brain function went to zero - I couldn’t count money, couldn’t drive, and did not know who I was in a store for about 20 minutes until a dear friend came in and found me.

I am suffering from everything under the sun, including Hashimoto Thyroid, PCOS, Adrenal Hyper-function, high Cortisol, no testosterone, estrogen, dopamine, serotonin, vitamin E, D, and B12, to name a few.

Five years ago, I looked perfect for my high school reunion - great weight, career, and boyfriend- you name it. I was happy. A few months later, depression hit and beginning in April, the scale became my enemy. By October, I had gained 80 lbs. The doctors blamed me, of course. This started me into a frantic scene of dieting. I joined gyms, boot camps, Diet-to-go, EVERYTHING. I even paid a trainer to live with me & cook for me - I gained weight from everything.

This past April, I almost died from malnutrition. My body had completely shut down. I became allergic to 27 foods - and I was eating a majority of them on a daily basis. I had 5 months of non-stop diarrhea - 12 times a day. I couldn't leave my house. I had a colonoscopy that was, of course, "normal." Every doctor was the enemy.

I went from 6 figures to food stamps with no brain function.

The story gets worse, but I am here to focus on today.

We have spent the past 5 weeks loading my body up with fats & having me on a Ketogenic diet after getting a full blood & RMR work up.

We were holding out this last week to start my cycle - but no game. I've read quite a few posts where woman have stated that theirs have come early after starting the HCG & that they did continue taking the HCG. This morning, I've decided to jump in since I've yet to be regular since my first cycle at age 11.

I will be taking the sublingual spray HCG that I received from the local Compounding Pharmacy. My doctor & nutritionist have decided its best to take one spray in the morning and one at night for 40 days.

I am off to buy my body weight scale, crystal deodorant, and to load. I have my session with the nutritionist at Noon & then I hope to take my first spray.

I hope to lose 34 lbs - that will be the last of the 80 lbs to go & I will hopefully, recognize the woman in the mirror for the first time in 5 years.

We've gotten a lot of inflammation to go down & I look more human - but still like a distant cousin - not at all like the Carrie I know & love.

Its time for my outside to reflect the lovely girl within, once again!

Be back to post measurements & official weight later today!
