At my last doctor appointment, my doctor told me I had the summer to get healthy. At the end of the summer, if my cholesterol was still high I would go on medication. If I was still borderline diabetic, I would go on medication. And I'm still on some high blood pressure medication.
So I started reading diet books to help me understand more about my body. I learned in collage if you wanted to be successful in business, you read biographys of successful business owners and books on business. If you wanted a successful marriage, you should read relationship books. I wanted to be successful in health--so I read several books on health. It helped me understand why I should do the things I should. It helped. I increased my excersize in both time and intensity. And I started eating better. I lost 15lbs, and I hit 200lbs. At that point I plateaued again. And I knew it wasn't enough.
I needed to do one of two things--find more time to exercise. Or try something new. I tried something new. After much prayer and research, I felt impressed and good about trying the HCG diet. I had a co-worker who has had a lot of success--and it was long term success. So 6 weeks ago I started the HCG diet under the close supervision of a dietation.
I now weigh 174.2 lbs. I have lost 36.5 inches all over my body. I was surprised when I lost inches in places like my neck and ankles.
Things I have learned: Yes, nothing tastes as good as thin feels. I use to laugh, but it's true. I've learned how to say I can't eat that--or I won't eat that. Not cheating has always been hard for me. It wasn't with the HCG diet. I've learned proper portion controls. And I've shrunk my stomach to the point that I'm satisfied with proper portion controls. I've taught my body to eat only when it's hungry--not just because it's time to eat again. And I've had the success of being healthy!! I worked hard to stop weight gain. I've gained a little bit of weight my whole life--until Kylee was born. I worked hard to stop weight gain. For the first time in my life--I have lost more than 10 lbs. I use to max out at 10 lbs. no matter what I tried. And I now weigh about what I did when I graduated from high school.
I went 6 weeks without cheating. And today, because I was falling asleep so badly at the wheel trying to get papers done, I cheated. And I don't feel bad about it. The question I am now asking myself--do I stay with HCG a while longer and try to drop more weight. Or is it time to take a break?
