Well this is a bit late, but oh well! Week two started off great, and I continued with one pound lost per day. On the third day, things changed. I hit a wall. :( I didn't lose any weight for 3 days. That was very discouraging. Also, my emotions began to overtake me. I was very moody and anytime I thought about having the temptation of food, I lost it on the inside. The bad thing is that I started losing it on the outside too. My husband is so sweet, and I hate that I take so much out on him. It really is true that we hurt the ones we love the most. I think it was two things that were causing my craziness...
1. hypoglycemia- I've had this for ten years and I started to have regular episodes. Those who have it know all too well the wonderful side effects that go along with it! Not pleasant!
2. Not being mentally prepared- I didn't expect it to get this hard. I didn't realize that cooking different food for my toddlers would drive me this crazy. Eric could go to work, and just take his bag of food for the day and somewhat "get away", while being at home I had temptations left and right. I will say that I didn't cheat!
After many "discussions" with Eric, we decided it would be best that I go ahead and move on to the next phase. I felt like it wasn't worth it to cause problems with Eric and I. Also, I was having a hard time with the kids. I wasn't where I needed to be as their mom this week. So for lunch that day, I still ate healthy, just more calories. My blood sugar levels quickly corrected and maintained good numbers.
The best thing that happened with HCG this week was that I lost 10 pounds!! And Eric lost 20!! AMAZING!! For now the plan is to continue on phase 3 and then start another round of HCG in a month or so. I truly believe that knowing what to expect will make a difference this next time around!
