Making Changes

After much debate within myself and loads of research, I have decided to try this HCG diet! I have worked very hard over the last year and have lost some weight and got into really great physical shape, but I still have some fat that I need to loose. I had debated on having an abdominoplasty, but decided I would give this a try first. I have had a few friends try it. Some of which have been successful, some have not. My most influencial in this was Lindsey and let me tell you she looks stunning! Drop Dead Gorgeous!! Let me also say, that I decided to make Myles follow this diet also. He has more weight than I have to lose and I thought this would help him. In light of recent events, I would love to see our family healthier and doing everything that we can do to prolong our life to the fullest! I think this starts with being healthy.
We started the Loading Days on January 15. I referred to these days as our fat days. This is two days that you eat until you are absolutely gorged on high fat foods. Prior to starting this diet, I was really looking forward to these days. I was so excited to eat all that I cared to eat of those things that we usually limit ourselves or even say "no" to. After the first day of gorging, I felt gross, dirty, fat and miserable. On day two, I woke up in a bad mood and just felt bad. I ate and ate and ate! About mid afternoon, I layed down, just because I didn't really have the energy to function. I layed there and could feel my heart beating and it felt like it was sloshing through fat, like my blood was very viscous. I wasn't sure I could finish eating high fat foods the rest of the day, but in the name of losing the weight, I continued. I was greatly looking forward to the first day of the Very Low Calorie Portion of the Diet. Today was the first day of the Very Low Calorie Portion (500 calories per day). I feel ok... I am a little dizzy and a little hungry, but I am looking forward to losing some fat. So here is a toast (with water of course) to my soon to be skinny body. I will post more of my progress as time goes on.
