Been in the high 40s thru the weekend! Woo-hoo!
Amazing what a Saturday and Sunday without my honey can do. Of course I missed him, but I don't miss the often not-so-good food choices I make. Perhaps a weekend apart is what my psyche needs to stay on track even when we are together!
Today puts me at a solid -47.2 lbs. since I started my HCG journey. I continue to be amazed at how my attitudes and cravings have changed. Salt can still be a challenge, but even that intake is down considerably. I ask you...Who. Am. I?
Though, I can think of one negative that this experience has wrought. I have a dear, dear girlfriend who has chosen to drop out of my life. Her husband says she attributes it to being envious of me. I don't know. I bought her drops. I have offered any and all support I can. But, ultimately, only she can make the commitment. I know...it's tough...no drinking; boring diet; very little food...it's hard.
But, man, six weeks of boredom for a lifetime of change? I'd do it again. And who knew? Drinking would lose its charm without being a difficult process. I mean, I wish alcoholics could have it as easy as I did giving up the booze. I enjoy the little I do imbibe, but otherwise, I don't miss it at all. And the money saved? Yowza.
So, I say a prayer for my gal pal and hope she will come to some decision...I'll be here for her, no matter what...if only she believed that too.
Eat and be well,
Jane Doh!
Hi Colleen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and for the supportive encouraging comment you left for me. I bought some Aveeno on the weekend and am going to try it. My neck and face are the itchiest - very bizarre. And, you are sooooo right about the six weeks of boredom or deprivation or whatever you want to call being worth it. Congrats on the 47 pound loss so far!
