new plan...

I have changed my mind!  (Woman's prerogative)  I'm going to start loading on Oct. 1st!!  I really can't wait.  Even though I will be out of town, I felt I could stand to load while there.  In fact, it may make everything easier if I load on fatty restaurant food and I don't have to have any in the house, if you know what I mean?!

I'm so excited and I wish I could start now, but I just can't see doing that.  I would be such a DUD and I don't know how I would manage to prepare my food while visiting...But I will have two days of VLCD while my cousin is still visiting so I'll definitely still be cooking.  I was thinking of making a pot of chili (not a favorite of mine, but good for cool/cold weather) and the next day we can eat on the way to the airport--or I could make a pot of spaghetti (also not a favorite of mine).  Since they're not favorites, I'm hoping to be able to stand the smell...:)  If I can't, they are simple enough dishes that my family can cook them.

I've been telling more people than I had intended.  I guess lying about being on the "Butt Diet" (like Mamaclok) did not come easily for me!lol  I wish I could think of something, but I couldn't.  The other thing is that I'm in some small groups and I really wanted prayer for this.  I will need a lot of support and prayer support mostly.

I wish I had more to write about, but everything is very boring now because I haven't started.  Tomorrow I take my measurements and I do weigh myself every day, but I am not quite ready to post them!:(  I feel like it will be MUCH easier to post them (along with before and after photos) after I've lost something.:)

I'm very encouraged by everyone on the hcgdieters group and by so many of the before and after pictures.  I hope to be a similar encouragement with my own story some day!  I don't know of anyone else around me that has done hcg.  So, maybe my story will encourage those that live near and around me.

I was thinking about this.  I mean, if someone didn't want to tell others about hcg then I wouldn't know if they had lost weight this way, yet I feel all the people I do know of that have lost weight have been truthful with me about how they lost it!  Too few have lost and too many are still overweight and obese.  It's my dream to help others find freedom from this in their lives!!  I don't think I would become a "coach" or anything, but I would certainly walk through it with someone.  I would also recommend any of the amazing coaches that are out there!

Can't wait to get started on the new healthy me!!  I'm actually proud of myself for researching and doing this.  It's taking some guts!lol
