To HcG or not to HcG...that is the question.

So, obviously I decided TO HcG. I've never been one to buy into the whole fad diet thing. I was a firm believer that you should just use extreme will power and work out. HOWEVER, after I quit my anti-depressants (never felt better) and attempted to quit smoking (still a struggle), I looked up and WOW...didn't like what I saw. After extensive research, I made a decision to literally work my butt off. I spoke with many people who had great results, so I jumped in head first.
I will be totally honest and say I was totally put off by the 500 calorie per day part for a while, but after eating only 500 calories for 3 days now, I can say it's not that bad. It has taken a little more planning on my part, but it's not been too much of a hassle. I think I like knowing there is an end in sight...that it's not for months and months that I have to do this to start seeing results.
For those of you who've asked, there was some mild discomfort and general malaise the first couple of days. I'm over that and have SUPER human energy today. I discovered on my walk this morning that I had a spring in my step that has been missing for quite a while.
I weighed in this morning on Day 6 and was 7 pounds lighter. I returned to the scale several more times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. It's TRUE! Hooray! I'll keep you posted! Peace~

  1. Great job Amy! I embarked on a lengthy fast last year and would like to truly encourage you to go to God's word when extreme hunger kicks in. His Word truly will be manna to your soul.
