In my lifetime, I've gained and lost enough weight to make up several people. Finding myself approaching 30, I realized that I was exactly 100 pounds overweight. That's right, my 5'4 medium sized frame looked and felt great at 130 pounds, but at 230, it bulged, sagged, moaned and groaned with every step I took. I'd been dealing with a lot of stress in my personal life, aging grandparents, family members losing homes, job stress, and the like. Fast food was always the convenient choice when running around trying to help save the day (or at least stick a finger in the leaks for a few hours). Unfortunately, I didn't really make healthy decisions when hitting the drive-thru. It's so much easier to eat a sandwich than to balance a salad in your lap while driving, don't you think?
Putting this all into perspective, I realized that enough was enough. I began prepping meals at home or making certain that my restaurant choices fit in with my meal plans. Despite this and a consistent work out schedule, I only lost around 5 lbs over the course of two months. At the urging of friends, I decided to look into Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, better known as HCG. The link for Dr. Simeons' full protocol can be found here: www.thehcgdiet.com/pdf/pounds-and-inches-by-dr-a-t-w-simeons.pdf but what I am looking to do with this journal is to let you know the steps that I take, the foods that I eat, and the results that I see.
I started this diet on June 17th, but only just decided to share this with others. Hopefully the information found here will help those in the decision making process as well as those currently on this diet.
