HCG will work for me!

I have made a choice. A decision really. One that I know I can manage. One that will take will power and resolve.

Here it is.....

HCG WILL WORK FOR ME!!

I have decided that. I made that choice. It will work. It will help. It will get me to where I want to be.

How? Well, that is the hard part, but I know I can do it. It is all up to me. Not to anyone else. Not to the food. Nothing. It is MY decision. MY choice. And I am determined to make it work.

Here is my plan:

I WILL pack food to get thru the day.

I WILL take my vitamins.

I WILL Drink my water.

I WILL NOT cheat.

I WILL NOT cheat.

I WILL NOT cheat.

That will do it. Just those simple steps. Hmmm.....I can do it!!

Another Day

Well, another day, done. Things are looking better!! I love positive days. It helps me realize that I CAN do this.....I CAN!!

So, some things that help me thru the day...

Coffee with stevia. This keeps me from eating most days, mainly because I don't like the taste of most foods with coffee.

Life Water (the zero calorie ones)

anythign with hot sauce...shrimp, chicken, crab meat

Eggs and fake eggs

green beans

gum made with xylitol

Now I am looking for activity...things to get me motivated. First up...the basement....it has got to get done, and it will keep me out of the kitchen. This is important, since the kitchen is where the food is, and if you read my last post, you know how I feel about food :)

Hoping to share some recipes tomorrow!

addiction

Hi...I am Shanda, and I am a food addict....

Yep..can't get away from it. It is everywhere! Breakfast, lunch and dinner, someone serves food. There is even food available at other times. Snacks, coffee group, book clubs, sporting events, grocery stores. You name it, there is food.

It is hard, when you love food as much as I do, to get away from it. There is no "quitting cold turkey". You can't just avoid it. Not only is food everywhere you go, you actually NEED it to live.

Now of course, I could be addicted to salad, and carrots, and fruits. That would be so cool! I would crave an apple in the morning, look forward to a salad full of veggies at lunch, and have that lovely lean meat and healthy veggies at dinner. Snacks would be well-timed, well-planned fruit salads and healthy protein.

Alas, it doesn't work that way. I love french fries, chicken wings, potato chips, chocolate...ahh chocolate. Cured meats like bacon, sausage, and salami. CHEESE! Man, I could eat cheese all day long! This is the curse of the addiction.

There is still no way to avoid it. It is all about will-power. And, I have none ;) If it is here, I will eat it. Ahh..the smell of bacon. Who on earth can resist that?
