Arrival...

The hcg is here!  The hcg is here!  Things are gonna start happening to me now!  (Quote from a movie--"paraphrased to suit my needs"--anyone know what movie?:)  I almost want to start today, but I know I would have problems in WI.  I have to weigh my food (especially the meats) and prepare it specially.  I couldn't do that there-at least I'll have enough OTHER issues to deal with than to mess with that.

So, my plan is still to start loading on the 4th.  I'm considering loading on the 1st and 2nd-because I know we will be eating a lot those days anyway.  I can then not eat breakfast on the 3rd, take some apples and melba toasts/breadsticks for the trip and eat the rest of my food when I get home.  Many people express extreme hunger on the first day of VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) so I would have to also prepare by bringing teas that I'm allowed to have.  Hmmmm....Still considering this.

I just might do it.  I'm so excited about starting!  I keep thinking about this past 10 years and how long it took me to gain the weight and totally mess up my metabolism!  Now, I want to eradicate all the negative effects in just a few months?  In some ways it seems ludicrous!  Yet, I've seen so many true stories on the hcgdieters yahoo group and v-logs and I just really respect what Dr. Simeons has to say.  He "had me at hello"! 

I'm going to post Dr. Simeons Pounds and Inches here and someday, if I learn how to do it, I'll put it on the side in a links section or whatever for people to refer to!  But here it is:  http://hcgdietinfo.com/HCG_Diet_Dr_Simeons_Manuscript.htm  I hope anyone reading this--whether lurking or an actual "follower"--will be inspired as I was.:)

Later!
