Surprise!!

Wow, I have been doing the HCG diet for 10 days. I'm going to be completely honest! This is so easy, as far as eating goes. You just don't really feel that hungry. I was a heavy Diet Dr. Pepper Drinker prior to starting HCG. I also craved sweets and chocolate. I didn't wean myself off of any of these things. As a matter of fact, I over endulged on the "fat" days. I ate an entire bag of hershey kisses in one day and drank way too many Diet Dr. Pepper's to even count! Well on the 3rd day, I started the VLCD and quit all these things at once. Believe it or not looking back, I have had no side effects from stopping Diet Dr. Pepper. Usually I do when I quit drinking soda, but I haven't this time! I think I have made this easier by drinking ice tea. Now as far as the sweets, I have had cravings a few times, but I have not cratered to any of them! Yea me!! I haven't made it easy for myself either. I have baked cookies for the girls, taken them to subway, and bought Hailee a pretzel from Sams and had to smell it. I won't say I didn't want to give in and eat a little, but I have decided that being skinny is far more important than eating the food! I have lost 8 pounds in the last 10 days!! I won't complain!!
