getting off my butt

Making the decision was the easy part.  Actually getting off my butt and makeing the changes were not quite so easy.  I heard about a hormone that was suppose to be the miracle for weight loss and decided to try it.  HCG, the pregnancy hormone.  It is the new thing in weight loss.  It is a 500 calorie diet that includes small amounts of protein, lots of fruits and veggies, drinking a gallon of water daily, and daily injections of the pregnancy hormone in my stomach.  From the very first day I could feel the difference.  I have always jumped into whatever I decide to do with both feet.  I never do anything half way and this was no different.  I started the first 23 day cycle and was able to stay on plan.  I lost 28 pounds.  I was worried that I would gain back all of it as soon as I stopped the plan.  It is not a sustainable diet for any length of time but for a fast start, it really worked for me.  I took a few months before my second round and immediately went back to my old habits.  I am addicted to food.  I love food. I eat for all the reasons people should not eat.  Boredom, depression, sadness, celebrations, you name it, it involved food.  Surprisingly though I only gained back about 5 pounds.  Then I slowly started walking and a few months later I did another 23 day cycle on the HCG.  This time I walked every day.  7 days a week.  Huge success!!! I lost 41 pounds in 23 days!
