I started by journaling my HCG weight loss progress secretly. I didn't want to put it out there for the world to see in case I met with yet another failure. I began my journal within the safety and security of my own computer. Nearly 3 weeks later, I am ready to share my progress with you. You see, this is not another failure. The results are TYPICAL!!
Let me tell you about my journey to this point. I have not struggled with weight all of my life. I never had a problem until 12 years ago. I had my second child and was never able to lose the pounds. I did not gain that much while I was pregnant but right after my daughter was born, the OB/GYN insisted that I take this new birth control shot. I did not do that 3 years earlier when my first child was born, but the doctor talked me into it. I took the new shot (which I do not think is available any longer) and I was never able to lose the weight. My body forever changed. I slowly packed on a few pounds here and there in spite of nursing my daughter and spending hours at the gym. I had never put on weight like this before and I did not know how do handle it. Around the time my daughter was 3 or 4 I pretty much settled into this new weight and have remained in the same size for all these years. I bought and use a Bowflex, I bought and use my treadmill, I cried out to doctors who put me on Phen-Phen (now banned) I DID NOT LOSE THE WEIGHT. You see, my problem was not appetite or portion control. My problem was not eating foods that are "bad" for you. My problem was not lack of will power. I tried low-fat, low-carb, cabbage soup diets, Slim Fast, Cleanses, Diet pills, starvation. The only thing I refused to do was the commercial weight loss industry plans. You know the ones with the celebrity spokes-models. I couldn't understand how eating chemically made, preservative filled, expensive food could help me long term. I had known too many people to take the weight off and then gain back even more. I decided that was not the route for me. I went to a new doctor and had many tests, I was put on metabolism enhancing vitamins, I kept food journals and continued walking on my treadmill. The pounds did not come off. I had convinced myself that it must be my thyroid. I went to a 3rd doctor. I took my food journals. He looked at me and said I can tell you right now, you have diabetes. Well $300 later. The doctor had to apologize to me. My blood work was good, in fact it was very good. My thyroid was again "within normal limits" I was devastated. I wanted something to be wrong so I could be fixed! The doctor looked at me and said "unfortunately you do everything right and your metabolism just won't cooperate, it will be hard for you to ever lose weight". I was devastated. I didn't want to live in this body that was 70lbs bigger than it should be. I knew I was in there somewhere but the real me just couldn't be found. I checked out Kevin Trudeau's books about weight loss. The second one talked about a complicated regimen of HCG shots and colonics. This looked to be an expensive, uncomfortable option. Again I felt defeated. I had resigned to try to be Fat and Happy.
I put my hopes of HCG on the back burner for 2 years. I tried little things here and there, new diet pills, new ways of eating. I was becoming increasingly frustrated. Even stomach bugs and various other illnesses did not make me lose weight. I was jealous of those people who had the flu and lost 14 lbs. You know the ones. I wanted the flu so I could lose 14lbs! I had resigned myself that short of getting cancer and having chemo the weight would never come off. I know that sounds strange but my dad is a cancer patient and I watched his weight drop off. I was convinced that only a catastrophic event could change me back. Then one day out of the blue, I walked into my friends house for a Bible Study (Torah) and she said to me, "I am taking HCG, I have lost 14lbs in the last 14 days". My jaw dropped. I was happy for her but sad that I could not take the HCG shots, they are just too expensive. Then she proceeds to tell me that the HCG is now available in liquid form. Sublingual, no shots, no doctors and no fake foods. I was hooked. I immediately starting searching the web for this new form of HCG. Did it work, was it safe, was it affordable. I watched Kathy drop 24lbs in 26 days. I knew this would work for me. So I jumped on board. I am so glad I did. I am losing an average of 1.25 lbs a day. Yes, a DAY. The posts to follow will be my journal. I may not post daily, but I will migrate my secret files over and continue this journey for all to follow. I have found the answer and I want others to find it too.
