HCG

So, today I started the hcg diet.  On this diet you take drops and eat a 500 cal diet.  I'm nervous about this but I'm committing to doing it.  I have several friends who are doing it and they have lost an amazing amount of weight.  I know the key is just to stick with it.  To be honest, this is actually my 4th time trying this diet but this time I'm going to do it.

When I stepped on the scale this morning I was shocked at my weight.  My starting weight is 199.2.  I am so depressed about that number.  Plus I feel like crap.  I know my weight is out of control.  I am out of control.  I tend to focus on food when I'm dieting not the outcome of my goal.  I know my life will be better if I get myself under control.  But as I write this there is a part of me that is very scared.  I don't know why but it's something that I need to figure out.

They say that journaling is a great tool to help you loose weight so that's what I'm doing.  Everyday for the next 40 days I will post how I'm doing and what I ate, good or bad.  I only have to follow this for 40 days by then I should have made smaller portions and healthy eating more of a habit than a burden.  After the 40 days I eat a more normal healthy amount of calories and add exercise to my plan.

I know that the next 40 days are going to be tough but I know that it is important to my health and future to do this.  It's just 40 days.  I can do this.
