Week 1 on HCG

Monday 11/9) Today was rough!! My first day on the HCG diet. My worst fear had come true! NO MORE YUMMY FOOD!! I felt very emotional..I thought I was going to bust out crying at any moment. I had such high anxiety, about the loss of my best friend, my confidant, my happiness! I thought at that moment I was going to starve for the rest of my life..just so I can be thin! I was hungry, tired and emotional...but hey this is for the greater good. To be healthy once again!

Tuesday (11/10) So it was just a tinsy winsy bit better I lost 3lbs, so of course that makes me feel a lot better!! But I was still hungry and a little depressed! I keep randomly thinking about food!! I swear I could smell a peanut butter and jelly sand which from across the street. But it has gotten a little bit better.

Wednesday (11/11) Lost 2 more pounds..MARIA'S BACK!! I'm feeling more like myself! I'm in a better mood! Found out I wasn't starving, just craving! I just created the greatest meal ever..doesn't seem like I'm suffering that bad anymore......except when I pass by Krispie Creme on my way home and I can smell it in my car!! OHHHHH the torture!

Thursday (11/12) Lost 2lbs!! Okay so I'm in heaven right now! The meals aren't bad! I now believe that those Top Chef contestants have nothing on me!!! I made the most delicious herb halibut! Yummy! I'm no longer starving! Night time is a little hard still....I miss my bowl of ice cream!! But green tea ain't bad!

Friday (11/13) Wow I made it through the week!! Now comes the biggest test!! The WEEKEND! No alcohol no restaurants! Not eating because I'm bored..Friday so far so good!

Saturday (11/14) I kept myself busy today! Worked for a few hours, worked out in the gym for an hour with my mom. Really didn't think about the things I couldn't have! I'm really excited to make cabbage rolls!

Sunday (11/15) The biggest test of them all!! Sunday family dinner! I made cabbage rolls for my family, so they got a chance to eat like me for a day! It was super tasty! Mom has decided to jump on the ban wagon! She is gonna start HCG on the 1st of December! Yay! Oh I tried on a pair of jean that have been hanging out there since 2007, and they fit! I'm freaking ecstatic!

Today (11/16) I feel amazing, no aches and pains waking up this morning! I've lost 12lbs! I know I can't believe it myself!! I've stuck with it..no cheating! I'm looking forward to working out tonight (unbelievable) I'm excited about this new healthy Maria...just waiting now to see the changes in my body..I feel it!
