Alape's Journal!

I'm Ashley and I started my drops on 8/1/11. I loaded well apparently because I have had no hunger. I've craved certain things(taco bell ugh) but I've stayed on protocol. I spent the day with friends yesterday and in the few hours we were together we went to Mcdonalds and an ice cream shop. I was so proud of myself. I managed to not even taste anything that they got. It wasn't easy, but I did it and felt so great about it after. I'm on day vlcd4 and feel great. I'm amazed at my losses so far! The only off things I've noticed are the first day my head was a little foggy, and my body oder has a strange smell to it. Otherwise I am loving HCG!

Your doing great, gotta love it!

Wigglesmom · 08-06-2011, 09:51 AM

Congratulations for staying on plan. It's so worth it to be 100%.

Alape052105 · 08-06-2011, 02:06 PM

Thanks ladies. I'm struggling a little tonight. We went shopping and normally we go out to eat. Driving around seeing all the restaurants that I love is tough. I want just one soft taco supreme from Taco Bell!! But I didn't do it. We are headed home now where I can eat. It's just frustrating to realize that this is truly a lifestyle change. I can't go back to eating like I did before. I know where that got me and I want better for myself. My husband has been amazing and is helping me stay dedicated to doing this 100%

Alape052105 · 08-07-2011, 09:23 AM

8-7 vlcd5 182.6lbs -.9lbs

Totals -7.4lbs -15.25inches

I'm hoping to be out of the 180's by Wednesday morning. That would be awesome for me!!

C'Marie · 08-07-2011, 11:02 PM

Good job staying on protocol! You won't be sorry! Anything you truly want later, you can have a little of it on P4 while wearing your skinny jeans. But don't be surprised, because your wants DO change, eventually. That's a good thing. Now I'm happiest with fresh, real food and the smells of the fast-food places just gross me out. I pick out the healthiest thing there if I must, otherwise, forget it.

Alape052105 · 08-09-2011, 05:12 AM

8-8 vlcd5 182.4 -.2
8-9 vlcd6 181.1 -1.3!!

Alape052105 · 08-10-2011, 05:11 AM

8-10 vlcd7 180.7 -.4

Week one totals=-9.3 -22.75inches!!

I didn't reach my 10lb goal, but I'm happy with where I am. Clothes that I haven't worn since I bought them have been brought out of my closet and I can wear them with confidence. I'm more confident and comfortable then I've been in a really long time.

Great job staying on plan when Taco Bell comes a calling!

I started 8/4 and let me tell you that I even had to change the way I drive home from the office because I would stop at TB almsot everyday and get the 'Deal #3' so I just changed the drive. I know it is a lifestyle change as you stated you noticed and I do have plans to have my TB but maybe a healtly way at home. I also decided if I got to have TB again (or anything) I will spread it out and not daily.

You can do this and your doing awesome! Keep it up.

Just keep saying to yourself Diva's mantra:

"I can have that later. I can have that later. I can have that later."

It helps. A LOT!

Alape052105 · 08-10-2011, 11:10 AM

Thanks ladies!! I have a friend who my husband thinks is trying to sabotage me. She's intentionally shown up with food knowing that I can't have it. Including a huge box of donuts yesterday morning. She's 8 weeks pregnant so I blame it on that, but DH is convinced it's because she doesnt want me to look better than her at her upcoming wedding
