It's Friday

...already! The week has gone fast and it's getting easier. It was so fun to tell all the girls at quilt camp this morning that I had released 2.9 kg in one day!! Too good to be true!! I love such a trend! I did find the cheese very tempting today... It kept whispering to me!
It's certainly easier at home where I have abolished all temptation, but this is real life. I sure hope this program X however many times I need to repeat it to be free of abnormal fat, releases the stronghold food has over me...breaks the lifelong bad habits!!
Eat to live not live to eat! Just refuel! Too bad our social life is geared around eat and drink... Let's all take up dancing!!

Burn Baby Burn!!

That's what I tell myself when I think about food. But I am so strong when I have my mind made up. The girl were passing around chocolate coated licorice and plates of home cooked slices... But I just sit down to my steak and cabbage!! Food tastes so good when you don't eat much of it. It's nice to have no indigestion!! I was reading in the book that its normal to get headaches at this stage,, so I guess I'm normal!! It didnt stop me from producing another small quilt top :)

Minus Three

I like these new scales...perhaps I should name them!  They say I have release 3 kg !! Wow!!
That is such an encouraging start.
Ok....I'm off to quilt camp for 4 days.  I have all my food, my friendly scales, my clothes, 2 litre bottles of water.....but wait ~ i dont have any sewing! 
I'm not sure if I will be able to post from this little tiny place called Vacy  but there is no stopping me now....
I have my purple crayon__________________________

Old Muther Hubbard....

The cupboards are bare!!  The Big benifit of being alone right now, is I don't have to see, smell or handle any other food!  everything perishable is gone!  If anyone drops by they get black coffee and a rice cracker!!  I quite enjoyed my black coffee this morning :)
Today I purchased a new scales....oh the things it can tell me!  And it can recognize me...pretty clever huh!  I sure hope it will tell me nice things...like a less percentage of my body is fat  and it weighs less....  I will have a little visit with it each morning.
Old habits die hard....I am so accustomed to eating in the afternoons, about the time the kids would have come home from school as they did  for 25 years or so, that I found it really hard not to be tempted to munch on  s o m e t h i n g!! 
For dinner tonight I had chicken cooked in a little water with garlic ~ tasty! with 120 grams of celery - which is only 20 calories!  hardly gourmet....but tasty and chewy and satisfying!

Day 2

Shock Horror!! The scales said plus 2 this morning!! Two days of eating as much high fat foods as possible...was harder than you'ld think as high fat foods are Very satisfying, and I was NOT hungry.
Oh well, tomorrow will make up for it!
I'm mourning my cuppaccinos already!! Who knows?? I might get addicted to long blacks....but the best part of coffee is slurping that delicious silked milk and chocolate off the top!  AND I have been walking to the shops with the cuppa as my reward....so lets see, what else can I go there for??  Green tea just doesn't have the same pull!  I suppose i COULD go the other way to the bush and listen to the birds.

I have cleared my cupboards and fridge of all tempting foods.  Its nice to have such an empty fridge!  My vegetables for the week: tomatoe, cucumber, celery, asparagus and cabbage don't take up much room!  My chicken and steak are all neatly cut up in 100 gram packages in the freezer.  Later in the week I will buy some white fish and prawns for variety.

Tomorrow I am going to buy an new scales....one that complements me on my great success=)   . . . .and a new computer!

Harold and the Purple Crayon

Here goes ~  I recently read "that over eating is a result of the disorder, not its cause". 
I totally agree!! SO...to release fat, I first must fix the cause. 
HCG is a new to me: Human chorionic gonadotropin is used to reset the hypothalamus gland which in turn tells the body to burn the abnormal fat as fuel!
I'm so excited!!  Today is day 1 of the next 23 days.
I have HCG in drop form, taking 6 drops x3 and today I'm supposed to eat lots of high fat foods - to fat load.  Its been hard as fats are very satisfying and I'm not hungry!  but that encourages me, that cutting back to a 500 calorie diet after tomorrow, won't be so hard!  Yes, I said 500! shocking isn't it!  I thot so too, but I have seen the results in others on the program and  I am impressed! 
So here goes....I'm taking my purple crayon and recreating my life___________________________________________________
