Day 6

I know Miss A is having a hard time with this VLCD, physically more so than mentally, so i support her no matter what she decides to do. I am a little scared though to be doing this on my own if she decides to quit.

Today i weighed in at 223.4! Thats a loss of 2.59lbs since yesterday. Thats probably the accumulation of two days though considering i think having too much salt the day before yesterday made me retain water. Yesterday i was really really REALLY good.

I find myself searching for some kind of tasty treat every night as i watch tv or a movie before bed. I think i'm going to go on the search for sugar free gum made with natural sweeteners like stevia or whatever. I'm not really supposed to have aspartame which is in almost every sugar free gum/mint, but it can be used in moderation if it doesn't effect the diet. I don't really feel like taking a chance so i'm going on the hunt for Glee gum. 

I'm starting to wish i could fast forward about 25 days or so, so i can be on phase 2 of this thing and eat a regular amount of calories again.. but i do want to get as much out of this as i can.. my goal is to be about 190lbs when i finish this. After this cycle i don't think i should do hcg again. I might take that back eventually but as far as i'm concerned right now, i'm determined to stick to eating healthy and exercising. Eating 1500 calories a day of healthy food with occasional treats allotted in my daily calories and a good exercise plan will work wonders. I personally don't think its safe to really exercise on the VLCD part of this diet.. i'd probably pass out and i'm not willing to take that chance. I'll start exercising again when phase 1 is over and i start phase 2 where i can eat 2000 cal of healthy food a day to maintain my weight. 

A lot of people keep giving me the same old story about how i shouldn't be doing this diet because 500cal a day is too low and hcg isn't fda approved(well it is but not for weight loss).. i totally understand where they're coming from, 500cal is too low! The fda thing i don't really care about, they let so much shit slide and let us put such crap into our bodies that they approve so i don't exactly take their judgement as priority. Most people think i'm doing this to lose weight fast and get fast results without working too hard, but i'm not. To be honest this is extremely hard! I'm doing this crazy diet to jumpstart my weight loss and retrain myself to eat healthy foods. I take vitamins every day, eat my daily amount of protein and even have melba toast each day to get some carbs in my system. Yes, 500cal is ridiculous and practically starving but i don't feel starving. Once the first phase of this diet is over i'll be eating healthier than most people in my family, maybe healthier than my aunt sue! (she is by far the healthiest most athletic person in my family) 

I'm a little off my game today emotion wise.. i'll let you know how the rest of the day goes later on..

Till then..
