Day 27

Weight: 214.5. Another 1/2 a pound.

I had a yucky night last night. I still stuck to the plan but I was depressed. I'm not sure what my problem was exactly - maybe I was just tired. I've been doing this for 27 days but still have hard times. I usually go to bed early on the difficult days, like last night. I was in bed by 9pm. Part of me is upset that I'm only getting 1/2 a pound each day but I know the weight loss slows down at the end. Anther part of me is just ready for it to be over, I'm sick of being on a diet all the time. I've been on a diet my whole life it seems. From this post, it sounds like I'm in for another hard day. One foot in front of the other, Beth... 13 more days. You're almost there.

WHAT???? My "rock" is having a hard day? Have no fear your hcg maniac friend is here to the rescue! I first want to say... I'm so sorry about your yucky night, I know all to well how those can be! (Trust me!)I'm proud of you for sticking to the plan Good job Beth! Second thing I want to say is... You can "not" get upset with the 1/2 pound losses! I know you know how long it would take to lose a 1/2 pound on a normal type diet, without the hcg drops. So, every 2 days losing 1 pound is "fantastic" please don't lose sight of that! In 1 week at a 1/2 loss each day would still be a 4 pound loss for that week, typically in a regular diet that could take an entire month to do, so be happy, be very happy & proud of those 1/2 pound losses, because they do add up!!!! Remember.... Anything is better then a stall or gain, a loss is a loss no matter the number! Keep your head held high, 13 more days is "nothing" compared to the 27 you've already put behind you! You've made it this far friend, there is NO turning back now, you got me? I'm not going to allow you to throw those 27 days down the drain....NO WAY!!!! One foot in front of the other is right.... These days pass so quickly it will be no time at all until those last 13 days will be OVER! You GOT this Beth, it's all down hill from here! I'm so proud of you and I can't wait to see the changes these next 13 days bring for you! KEEP UP THE AMAZING JOB!

Thank you, Shyla, for the pep talk! I think I'm just in a slump. I'm surely not going to give up. This has been hard and I will not throw away all the work I've done. I'm just ready for that magical day off! :)

Beth,
I can toatally understand that.... I'm 13 days behind you, and I'm so looking forward to that day too! I've read where some people are sad to see phase 2 end....Can you believe that? Watch that end up being me! (LOL) Hope your day is going better then you thought it would! =)

Just hang in there, Beth. You should be thankful for the half a pound weight loss every day. That's a lot, y'know... but you also got to expect the weight loss would start to get a bit slow in the later days of phase 2 but that's not to be upset about as the body continues to lose weight, it just needs time to catch up on the weight loss and the body retains water. Just hang in there. Just look at what you accomplished so far with the HCG diet and think about what the biggest loser contestants had to endure every single day just to lose almost the same amount of weight. :)
