So, after much thought and conversation with Brad, I decided to start the HCG diet, the "do it yourself" version.
To spare you all the boring details, the concept is to take these homeopathic HCG drops (a hormone produced during pregnancy) and limit yourself to a strict 500 calorie a day diet.
Call me crazy, but we are 9 days into the program and I have lost 9 pounds. No complaints from the Dani department.
It is, BY FAR, the hardest thing I have ever done mentally. But, fortunately Brad is my rock and when I feel like giving up or "cheating" he coaxes me back on my weight loss wagon and is completely motivational. I love him.
I have 15 more days of eating like a bird, then its on to the maintenance phase. Im shooting for a weight loss of at least 25 pounds, but we will see. It's harder than it sounds, but if 9 pounds is all I shed, then its 9 pounds that I am completely satisfied with.
I will let you all know how it ends.
Love, Dani
i need Sean to help me be motivated... i was trying to do a "Meat/Veggies/Fruit" diet... no bread or anything processed... i quit... but hopefully I'll be able to get back on track once sean comes home and helps me out. :)
