Weight was up this morning by .2 lb. to 201.6. I should have expected it but I didn't. I've been doing this 10 day and only lost 5.2 lbs. I can lose 1/2 lb a day by counting calories and working out (I've lost 85 lbs in the last 2 years with Weight Watchers). I don't get it.
Work was stressful today and I want so badly to just eat. I went into my boss' office thirty minutes before time to leave and got a Hershey miniature dark chocolate bar. I'm the only person in the building that eats them. I didn't even try to stop myself from eating it either so I don't know what my weight will be tomorrow.
I didn't realize how freakin much stress/emotions play with my eating. This is huge, no wonder I'm huge. Food is my go to for everything crappy in my life. I'm not one for self reflection. Maybe that is why I've not been successful in the past.
Aside from the candy, I did resist the urge to do drive thru thing on the way home from working out (Curves). I came home and stuck with the VLCD. I have a fruit left which I may skip since I have no idea what the candy is going to do to me.
I have to be strong and hang in there with this deal otherwise it will just be another failure.

Just a thought you might want to stop working out and see if you drop more weight, I read that when you are on the 500 calorie, your body needs that to survive and weight loss is slow with working out and stress. Just my 2 cents worth.
HCG has opened my eyes to my relationship with food more than anything else I've done. While you are on the VLCD its very hard to eat for emotional reasons because a)the foods allowed are not what I would call comfort foods, and b)even with the allowed foods, you can only eat such a small amount. So there you are, left to deal with your feelings instead of eating them. It reminds of the addicts I work with that have to face their life and emotions without drugs during recovery. It's been painful to go through but has helped me gain insight and will hopefully contribute to my long term success, and yours too! Hang in there!
