BACK ON THE HCG BANDWAGON: MY FINAL RIDE!

Okay, so I've been on and off HCG over the Holidays. Still have seen good results when I've been off but judging by how easily I have been falling into food temptation, it's definitely time to start back hard core. I was on for the past three days, kinda as a partial fast for the first 21 days of January, but completely cheated Sunday and Monday (today). My hubby asked me if there was anything "HCG" I could eat at Mirko's (an amazing homeade pasta place here in Athens) and that's all it took-BOOM-fell right off. I have found in this semi-weak state, to completely stay away from eating out for a while. I believe it is a smart person who knows their weaknesses along the path to making them their strengths.

So, here I am. Will weigh tomorrow and post the results then. I don't have a specific number weightwise I want to be at although around 147 would be nice. We will see how I look at that point. Being 5'10", believe it or not, I can look too skinny in the low 140's. This is where I was when I did the Miss GA pageant and because I had too little body fat on me, I had a period for 6 weeks! Yuck!
I will say, and my friend, Bonnie Shores agrees, when you see some really great results, it seems the hardest part is staying focused to lose those last 10 or 15 pounds and honestly, you just get sick of being on HCG! However, if any of you reading this are at that place, I say, take a few days off, eat some things you have been craving so badly, have your "last supper" if you will with the bad stuff, get back on for one final round and just complete your weight loss goals. I found doing this made me actually look forward to getting back on because I was so sick of seeing the scale fluctuate so much due to my inconsistencies. My thoughts were, "No food is this good! No food is worth being just shy of my goal!" Plus, I was so stinkin' bent on having a stupid mint ice cream blizzard from DQ tonight before my final round beginning tomorrow, that after I had it, I thought how silly of me to be so fixed on having something so temporal. It made me want to uproot any lack of self control that got me in this predicament a long time ago!
So, here I am. Wanting the Spirit fruit of self control to really develop lusciously and fully on the branches of my life! No regression anymore, only PROgression!
I am making around147 lbs. my goal but for now, I KNOW I want to be completely out of the 160's and no where near it again! So, that's my short term goal. I'll think about the long term stuff later. January is a good month to just go cold turkey and completely shed these final pounds because everyone is settling down from the holidays, not much planned in the way of travel this month, which by the way for me, makes HCG extremely tough to stay on while I'm on the road. So, let's just get 'er DOOONE, shall we??!!
