I have done it!!!

I just reached my latest goal!!!! I officially am the skinniest I have been in 13 years.  Can you believe it? I can't.  Well, according to the scale I can, but it is still insane.  I have lost another 7.4 lbs and am now at 187.4.  The smallest I have ever been! And to think I wanted to quit my diet yesterday.

I had a horrible day yesterday! Work was whatever, I spent 9 hours driving and 4 working.  A long day if you ask me.  I made it home last night though to cuddle my husband.  And then? In all my tiredness? I DID NOT SLEEP AT ALL!!!!! It sucked.  I finally fell asleep this morning at around 6 and then woke up at 9.  I am going to work this morning for a bit and then take the afternoon off to have a nap.  I am two days ahead of schedule this week anyways so I think I deserve it.

Wow.  I am officially in the 180's.  I am shocked.  Sorry.  This session on the diet has almost kicked my butt! I did gorge days on Friday and Saturday and have only been on the eating plan since Sunday.  3 whole days and I am done! I had no idea it could get harder.  Not sure why it is so hard this time.  It seems to get harder each time.  I have decided to do a cheat day (not in a major way, just a little!) next Friday.  I am meeting a friend for the day and want to be able to eat and drink.  I will then have to deal with Thanksgiving with no food.  Not sure how fun that will be!


My dad and sister are not impressed that I will not be eating as it means I will not be cooking.  I am the cook in the family.  I told them I will help, but will not do it all.  Not even close! Turkey dinner is one of my favorites and I have not had one in almost a year.  This silly dieting has made me miss out on a lot of amazing food this year.  Sometimes is discourages me.  Other days? I remember that I will be done this whole charade in 5 and a half weeks and then I can eat again.  And will be able to for a long time after that.  I am going to do this six weeks and then stop.  I am not sure for how long.  I might be done! If I change my mind and decide to do more, I will wait till after Christmas I think.  I will eat turkey yet this year!

Hey! I love you too! I am doing the HHCG diet. It is drastic but it works and I can maintain it after so I don't have to worry about gaining back all the weight. I decided to do this one because I was told by the nurse I bought it from that it works with steroid weight. I have tried everything else and this was something I had not done yet! And you better believe it.... turkey dinner in a major way at this house sometime after Nov 20! (that is when I can eat normal again)
