Ok... sooo... I decided to give it a try (I failed to tell you guys before... sorry). And... after the first two weeks I was down 14lbs... I'm now down 15 lbs and dropping. It is easier than I thought. I seem to do well on restricted diets. I just started my period so my progress is slowing a bit, but the scale is still moving in the right direction.
I can tell you anyreservation I had about it is gone and the doubters out there in the medical community haven't researched enough. After the two days of stuffing myself on any and everything I actully lost 4 lbs... if the sublingual HCG was placebo as some folks suggest that would not have occured.
Not only is the weight coming off at a rate I could only have dreamed of, but I have the clarity of mind I have not had since prior to getting knocked up by Flint.... seriously. I feel so great and have such wonderful concentration that I decided to go back to school and signed up for Statistics this fall.
Yesterday I spent half the day sorting my closet and pulled out a huge stack of clothing that no longer fits... because it is too big.
I can't say that from time to time I don't wish I could eat the kids pizza or sneak a ice cream, but the rate of success is sufficient to keep me on track. I spend time every day reading over the protocol and journaling... it is amazing how much food obsessing I was doing before... it is nice to be able to acknowledge the thoughts and let them go. I can see that if you take this seriously as a cure for obesity and use the time and techniques correctly you could come out the other side with much better habbits. I plan on making that the case here... don't get me wrong... I look forward to the day I can have my friends awesome gnocci stew again, but I'll be having a small portion made with buffalo and low fat sour cream instead of eating half the pot of the full fat version myself.
