I Actually Want to Diet.

I am still in Phase Three of my first round of HCG, and I have to admit; I thought that I would see the six week break between rounds go by to fast for me and that I would dread going into Round Two's VLCD. This has turned out to be false. I can't wait to start Round Two. I can't wait to start losing weight again. I've maintained for long enough and I don't want to be the same weight everyday anymore, unless it's my goal weight.  My son turns two in a few days and I have his party planned for the weekend of the ninth so I am doing my Load Days on the same weekend. :D It's about five days before the end of the six weeks but I can't wait any longer!

I bought a new pair of jeans today. Size 14! I haven't bought 14s since I was a teenager! They are snug, but I can button them. I want to fit in the perfectly, or for them to be to big when I am done with round two!
I haven't measured myself lately, but I feel like I have lost a few more inches, even though I am consistently floating a few pounds above my last drop day weight.

New Clothes for Me!

It is a rare day when the following two things happen. 1.) I get to go shopping for me and me only. and 2.) I WANT to go shopping for me.

I used to only buy clothes out of need, and only did the grab and go. I never liked looking at myself in clothes or having to pass every store up because they didn't even have my size. Now I still have more to lose (of course) but I already feel way better and went out with a friend today and went SHOPPING.

If felt so good to be able to just grab things of the rack and be able to try them on. To not have to go to the 'plus size' corner and instead stay in the open area to find clothes. I even got a new bra!

The pictures are blurry, but oh well!

With the mix and match ability I got a total of three outfits! Pretty nice if I say so myself!



today was the first day of my Stabilization Phase and I am enjoying it for sure. I am supposed to maintain the weight of 188.8 and when I weighed in this morning I was down to 187 so I ate two eggs and two slices of turkey bacon. It was scary but good. And totally filled me up.

About half way through the shopping we stopped at Souper Salad and I made my own starch and sugar free salad:

It was sooooooooooo good.

I just feel so good and energized. This diet has changed my life.
