Let me first start off by explaining my title today.
In Phase 1 of the HCG diet you take the HGC drops 3 x per day AND load (which means you eat anything you want). I mentioned in an earlier post that I was super excited about eating whatever I wanted.
Well I weighed myself this morning and I gained 3, yes- THREE/TRES pounds. At first I was very upset! My first round I gained 2 lbs in 2 days. I could not believe it! But gaining these 3 lbs (which I will lose by Sunday) has given me a chance to really look at the relationship that I have with food. This is the knowledge I learned about myself:
1. Food is not comforting anymore :) ... when I think about donuts and pecan pie I get negative feelings - not those comforting feeling I use to get.
2. I am so happy that I now think of what I am putting in my mouth and the consequence that follows - yesterday I ate: 1 donut, chocolate milk, 2 pigs in a blanket with jalapeno, a roll, briskett, fries, pecan pie, 3 large shrimp tampura, about 3 large shrimp rolls, potato tampura- so that is how I gained my 3 lbs - BUT before I would eat that much in a day and not even think of what I was doing to my body. No wonder I was super sized!
3. I am so looking forward to tomorrow and the 22 days that follow. I love the structured eating. The bounderies that this diet gives me. Before I had no bounderies, I ate what I wanted, when I wanted. It is such a great feeling to give myself limits and bounderies.
So although I have gained the 3 I have learned a ton about myself :)
Today even though it is a FREE for ALL day, I had nuts for breakfast and I split a burrito dinner with Loretta (co-worker). I am stuffed and feel good.
