Musings about my first vlcd on round 2...

Jody100467 · 06-13-2011, 09:10 PM

I don't know why but I was feeling a little bit trepidatious about getting started on R2 P2. I don't know why...I have been ready to hit the losing phase again for a long time...I was ready to be in P2 the minute I left P2...lol. I never wanted to stop and I was fine with the food...it was really easy for me. But I wanted the positive affects we get on our metabolism from this protocol so I hit three weeks on both P3 and P4. But I was worried about getting back into P2 the last few days...and I don't know why. I want the results and I am excited to be back in P2 but I am so happy that the first day is over. I really don't know what the concern was but I sure am happy that the first day is over and now I feel empowered for day 2. I know that this will be just as easy for me as the first round and that I will see results so no more weird feelings for me! LOL I will be looking forward to my weigh in the morning...I want to see my load weight gain go away!

Thanks for letting me vent.

Good luck on your weighin tomorrow morning!

I can totally understand your trepidation even though you were ready.

I think it's just because this hcg diet tends to play weird, weird tricks on our brain!

Best wishes! Glad you are taking the journey again...and hoping you have the same great results.

No worries, girl - you got this!

Yeah girlfriend...you KNOW I do! LOL And thanks to all of you for your kind words of support...I really needed them and having them here this morning kicked my day off to a great start.

I woke up about 3 pounds down (I don't remember the exact number...it's about 3 pounds...I'm not obsessive LOL...as long as I am on the way down that is all that matters).

Anyways...I really enjoyed the P3 and P4 foods...and it made me feel very comfortable in knowing that I will be able to maintain my loss. I also really appreciated learning that I can eat ezekial bread, and lots of nuts and fruit and not gain a pound. I think that what was bothering me was going back to P2 foods. I had a little fear that I couldn't go back to the low calorie diet and the limited food choices but honestly...yesterday was pretty comforting to me. It was easy and I wasn't hungry. I think that part of me forgot how easy this was for me. I had a fear that I couldn't handle the repititious food again and that I might cheat. But I don't have that fear now...I feel so much better. I woke up to a loss and now I just feel that excitement of "I can do this" and I can't wait for the end of June because I will be getting close to getting into smaller clothes.

The other thing is that I worry about special events coming up like bbq's etc. And I feel a little loss about not being able to eat what I want BUT the truth is that I want to lose the weight more than I want to eat the food. And it won't be worth it to me to cheat or have a re-feed day (which I won't do...it's just not my style). I WANT THIS WEIGHT OFF. The rewards will be so much better than the taste of that food. Besides...the company is what those get togethers are really about, right? Being with friends and family! AND I am worrying about something that I don't need to worry about...my husband and I both work a ton of hours and we don't have any social plans for the summer at all. He basically works about 70 to 80 hours a week and I started my own business so I am basically just as busy. Plus I work at home so I always have the right foods at hand. This will be a piece of cake and I am really not going to obsess over it. Besides, the truth is that if we do go to a special event...I will just take my own food with me. Even my husband's family plans for my diet now...my mother in law said something to me about being at their house for Father's Day and that I would be bringing my food...LOL. God Bless her sweet heart anyway.

So...I am rambling but that is what was on mind and I feel much better now.

Phew!

3 lbs down!! That is great start!! You are on your way.

Jody100467 · 06-14-2011, 10:20 AM

Thanks Dawnyama! I am pretty happy and excited to be in P2 again! Can't wait for mid-July when I am getting down in my weight! Woohoo!

Bierarsch · 06-14-2011, 10:40 AM

You're going to do great!

debkeversole · 06-14-2011, 10:48 AM

happens to me before every round thinking that i can't do it once i get started i am fine HAPPY LOSING

Jody100467 · 06-16-2011, 08:29 PM

Deb - it's really nice knowing that I am not the only one who feels this way. It was a really weird feeling as I started this P2...I was so excited to get here and start losing again...but I just felt so nervous and strange. Now I am on vlcd4 and back down into my range and I can't wait for tomorrow morning's weigh in...I know that I will be at the lowest weight in a while.

I was at 172.0 this morning...I am hoping that I might be in the 170 range but I know that I will probably be around 171 point something or other...lol. By next Monday I am hoping for the 160's...and who knows...maybe I will get it before then! Woohoo!

Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Jody

C'Marie · 06-17-2011, 01:13 AM

You've done so well and I can't wait to see your full success!!!
