Diet...again

Since one of my friends has been alarmed reading about my road to self-discovery...I've decided to change the subject and talk about this new diet that I'm starting.

Being pregnant was a wonderful experience for me! It gave me an excuse to eat as much as I wanted and to gain weight without all the guilt. So, I didn't mind gaining 80lbs in ten months! I thought the usual, "eating for two" "it's just baby weight" and "I have cravings".

After having both my children, I lost 50 pounds rather quickly...it was always the last 30 lbs or so that gave me fits. Well, I've finally decided to get serious, and considering that I won't be having anymore children, I'll be dropping that last 30 lbs.

I've consulted with my physician and she has put me on the HCG diet. You take drops that encourages your body to use stored fat reserves. In fact, you don't eat breakfast! I love that part, because I don't eat breakfast. The hardest part I suppose is sticking with eating only 500 calories, but my doctor said, "You can do anything for a month." I just love her, she's Polish and has such a wonderful rugged accent. I see her once a week and we talk about my progress.

I'm starting the diet at 145lbs, size 10. Each week I'll post my current weight and what size I am. I'll let you know how I'm doing...the difficulty and what I find easy.

Gar, I hope this post was to your liking...:)
