24 days?? seriously

tomorrow is my last shot from my second vial- i'm hoping for a loss in the morning- something sweet to end on.

I guess that memo was received

Happy Saturday.

5 more pounds and i'll reach my goal for this round. I wonder if i can do that in the 6 days worth of shots that I have left. Maybe I can stretch my shots to a seventh day. Either way I think it is dooooo able- so that is great. YAY.

Friends have started to notice. Or say, "are you slimming down" sometimes I want to say- no it is an optical illusion- i have done nothing differently- I have not been refusing business lunches, happy hour drinks, good bye cake, or the office candy dish. sigh- but it is worth it. I swear.

no really it is... it IS!

haha.

Saturday, April 24, AM * 22 shot days * 25.2 lbs lost

Memo time

I feel like I should send out a memo that I have lost a bunch of weight because I don't think any one has noticed. It is hard to notice changes in people that you see every day. I mean if I tell myself that no one noticed the 20 pounds I gained in the last year & a 1/2 it is only sensible that they might not notice when I take it back off. But thats okay because I'm pulling things out of my closet that I have not worn in a awhile so at least I know the truth.

The big debate now is to try to go as long as possible- bypassing my birthday or stop in time to celebrate my birthday. It could mean the difference of getting to my goal before a year is over.

BIG debate- celebrate big getting older with drink.... or with the shot... that will help me in many different and important ways. SiGh.

April 17 * 15 days * 19.4 pounds lost

If you aren't familiar with the HCG diet- don't look for any explanations here. I'm not into explaining things and having people contradict me. Besides, that isn't what I a plan to explain. I'd rather try to explain... myself. I'd rather use this space to vent- reflect- and hopefully to GET EXCITED. I am **fingers crossed** for the last time, mounting a major offensive to shed the pounds I have gained over the years from too much fun, boredom, depression and poor choices.

Obesity in America- is kicking some major butt- is anyone surprised? I'm not, I'm the epitome of the drama taking place in front of our eyes. Between the growing clothing sizes and ease of picking up a soda rather then a water. The processed... some might exclaim overly processed bread, meat, dairy and grains. And the genetically spliced... fruit, veggie... well EVERYTHING! The processed of the body can no longer break apart these complex foods, instead it stores them away to break down another day.

Then there is the fact that every event must include food, everyone wants to snack all the time, and in general people live to excess. With all of this there is almost no hope for the rest of us. Meaning those not genetically predisposed to be tiny waif like citizens of size.

Well I'm getting smart to you corporations etc etc etc. I'm going to figure this out if I have to grow everything I eat in my apartment. (hmm an idea). I am going to get rid of what is excess, learn my lessons and get myself on track before 2012. Hopefully far before, but I'm not ready to place any bets just yet. I'd rather just take it in stride- plug away- for now.

Thus--- I have begun my battle against all of this--- my battle against obesity---- my battle for skinny.
