Day 13 (27 days to go!!!)

I am down 16.8 pounds so far!!! I broke the 220 mark, weighing in at 219.4 this morning. Woo hoo. 220 is a psychological blocker for me. My weight has hovered at 220 since I had my first baby over nine years ago. It's gone down (all the way to 201 when I got pregnant with Baby #2). It's gone up a lot too. It's been easy for me to lose weight down to 220. It's difficult for me to lose much more than that. So I am really looking forward to leaving it behind forever. Good bye 220s!!!

I've had some good days, and some tough days so far. I am encouraged by reading other people's HCG blogs. I get discouraged when I read anything scientific. Am I really starving my body, or does the HCG really help with the weight loss. I don't know.

I do know that I am losing. I am eating healthily, with lots of veggies and lean proteins. I am surprisingly okay without carbs. I have lost the craving, so sticking to the plan is actually easier than I anticipated. My cravings are under control, and that feels great. For example, last night, I was able to join my family for dinner at a Mexican Restaurant. They ordered chips, guacamole and queso (my favorite), and I wasn't tempted. Instead, I stuck with my iced tea and really enjoyed my grilled shrimp and veggies. It was very satisfying. I didn't feel the urge to eat the junk!

On with the rest of the day!
