Day 3 HCG Diet
210.4--I think I'm kind of numb now. I broke down and had a 25 calorie hot chocolate last night and it was wonderful. Of course my stomach bloated up (lactose intolerance) but it was worth it. I'm having trouble even wanting to eat. Last night I had fish and a tomato. Tonight I'm having flank steak. Woo Hoo! Going down to have my meager cup of tea. Let's hope my atttitude changes soon because I really want to do this--I'm tired of being embarrassed of myself all the time.
Day 2-HCG Diet
213.3 Found a place where the pencil doesn't roll because I weighed 6 different places and got six different weights--for a total of 4 pounds difference from one spot to the next. I really don't know what I weigh but I'm going with the location where the pencil stayed still. Nothing--not even water loss. Don't know how I'm going to do this for 30 days because I'm already sick of the food.
Someone wrote that the problem with weight in this country is that we have too many flavors and textures so we never get bored with eating the same thing. Amen! How do you turn away from a culture that bombards you with food advertisements and recipes and restaurants on every corner? Still Misty for Chocolate.

It begins...
213.3 when the scale was in the lefthand corner of the room. When it was near the door it said 216. When it was near the clothes hamper it said 213.6 So, officially, my weight today is 213.4 Not a problem were I a six foot guy. Problem: I'm 4'11.5 inches.
So I see this Functional Medicine doctor and he's the first one ever to tell me I'm insulin-resistant. "But my blood sugar is normal," I protest. "Not your blood sugar I'm measuring." Huh? Turns out blood sugar isn't THE predictor of diabetes. It's the confirmation of diabetes. Insulin resistance is the PREDICTOR of diabetes--and also why losing weight is like a hamster wheel without the exercise.
I'll explain more in a later blog. The purpose today is to proclaim publically (so I can't chicken out) that this is the beginning of my HCG 30 day diet. If I don't blog tomorrow it's because I died in my sleep. Which is why I am signing this, Misty for Chocolate.
