Wow! People are rude to you when you are fat, and rude to you when you lose weight...ugh! So, my husband is rocking hcg, seriously, he is awesome. If you would see this man he looks 10 years younger and I know he is turning heads. HE IS HOT! I love it! I have always loved him and always thought he was gorgeous, but now I see the hotness I fell in love with. He is not boastful about it, in fact, he is almost shy (very unlike him) about the attention. He is very honest and tells people exactly what
Very excited to be back for R2!
R1 I lost 20 lbs, then gained back 4 to end at a 16lb loss in 23 days. I was very unhappy with my ending, but I knew my heart was not in it anymore. This time, I hope, I have a new attitude that will carry me through.
During my weeks off, I really tried to walk 3 miles a day. I actually lost pretty well. I had myself down 25lbs. Last week there was a sudden death in the family (which always translates in my book into massive eating) and
Yippee! Finally, I get to say I lost again! First time since Monday! Down 16.6 lbs total!
So, like with everything on this journey, I am gonna take time to learn from this crappy loss week.
1. You cannot cheat a plan. I thought that I could figure out a way to eat crappy and lose weight. Just a little fyi for everyone...that DOES NOT WORK. Probably the thinking that got me fat in the first place.
2. If you screw up a few times, that is okay, don't scrap the whole mission.
So, after 7 days on VLCD I was rocking a 16 lb loss...totally thinking, "I got this!", and now on day 11 I am finally back to my 16 lb loss.....
Where did I go wrong? Thinking I was smarter than program. I got away with one cheat on Sunday, so when my husband's birthday came along on Tuesday I thought, "Well, it won't hurt to have some cheesy hashbrowns....". Now, 3 days later, I am finally back to being 16lbs down. Ugh, lesson learned. Diet 1, Me 0!
So day 6 on VLCD and I caved. You think this would be a depressing moment, which it of course is, but could there be a silver lining??? Well, in fact, there was. In the past if I would give into temptation it would be a doozy. Last night, I totally got in the mindset to cheat. We were out of town shopping, I was starving (I hadn't even eaten lunch and it was 6pm), the kids were hungry, and my usually strong husband was even ready to binge. So there was the perfect storm to down 10,000 calories in
