HCG R1 D13 VLCD D10

As expected my weight was up but only by .4 lb, weight is 199.6. On day 13 I've lost a total of 7.2 since the first injection. Not to great but I'm not going to let it get me down.

Today I ate earlier than usual but then didn't eat until I got home. I started reading when I came in and ate an apple around 5:30 p.m. I'm not hungry so I don't see the point of eating. It is the emotional (want to eat) craving to eat that gets to me. On the way home this afternoon, I wanted Subway. It was all I could do to talk myself into coming straight home.

Another busy day at work but it was a good day so I should not have wanted to turn to fast food. I think it is my missing bread. Real bread. I don't know what Melba toast is but it does not do the trick for me, neither does those long skinny cracker/breadstick things.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that slips but keeps on going. Thanks for your support it helps more than I can say to know that I'm not alone on this journey.

Great to read through your blog! I'm pretty excited about starting hcg for the very first time. I've had it in the fridge for about 3 weeks (unmixed) waiting for some events to pass so that I could be more focused.
Do you know a lot of people that have done it and done well? I don't know anyone, but I've read a ton on the internet about it.
I'm VERY hopeful that I'll be successful.
I think I may try a blog like you are to post my progress just to keep myself motivated.
Thanks for sharing your struggles, I hope I can be as strong as you are.

You are so not alone in this! You had an amazing day today, picking yourself up from yesterday's fall off the wagon and getting right back on. I am one who usually dives into extreme binge type behaviors so I consider it a huge success when I mess up but then move on instead of staying stuck in the messing up. You are doing great... and 7.2 lbs in 13 days is more than 1/2 lb a day... you are doing great! And having some great insights into your emotional eating. Thanks for sharing your journey!
