Day 7 of this diet

Ok, it's been a week. I have lost approximately 7 pounds. I even got cocky today and ate chili thinking it had all of the ingredients that I can have... but, I looked it up online and I really screwed myself. It is 308 calories. I'm such an idiot. I have been doing so well and fighting the cravings with gum and apples... AHHHHHHHHH.
My goal is simply to get to at least 130 or 125. I admit, I will not be happy with a 130 on my scale. So I'm going to break the rules and go to Tae Bo. I will do this for at least one day a week this week and hopefully I will lose even more.
I admit, I am obsessed now. I can't imagine eating anything with fat now. I can't imagine quitting now. I need to get to this weight goal.
I am officially a dieter. ewwww

HCG diet... I'm hungry

Ok. This is the 3rd day of the diet.  This is the first day of the crappy part of this diet. I can only eat 500 calories a day for the next 20 days. Of course I'll lose weight!!! However, I want to exercise and can't on this thing. I'm very irritable after only having 2 100g grilled hamburger patties, 2 cucumbers, water, tea coffee, an apple, 2 melba toasts. I am soooo tired and have no energy. I'm afraid to break any of the rules. I can only have certain things: lean hamburger, white fish, chicken, celery, cucumbers, spinach, asparagus, strawberries, apples. etc.... I went to the butcher today and got 100g portions of hamburger, chicken, tilapia, sword fish and cod. I will really try to keep going. I can only have the juice of one lemon too. Think I will go get some crab legs (one of the good things I can eat.) Am I an idiot? I bought a new scale yesterday. I weighed 147.8. Today at the same time, I weighed 146.4. But, my weight fluctuates all of the time. I will try this for a week and then weigh myself. That will be the ultimate test. God, I'm tired. Can't even focus.
Anyway, I am contemplating eating just a bit more and exercising too. I need to lose the fat and then keep fit by exercising, but this won't allow me to exercise. I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is a new day.

The last hope... HCG Diet

I'm so hopeful. I'm starting my hcg diet today. I am not a dieter. Well, I never thought I was until I gained some... a LOT... of weight. I was the girl you hated in High School and College and throughout my 20's. I ate and drank whatever I wanted and still looked like a middle school boy, (bodywise); thin, no hips, no waistline, no boobs, no fat, very athletic and very energetic. I didn't do organized sports or work out. I just walked a lot, danced a lot and had a killer metabolism.
Anyway, I'm fat now. I have 3 boys and gained and kept the weight with each of them. I still don't recognize myself in the mirror and pictures, and I thought that if I kept doing the stuff I was doing, I would lose the weight. I've tried the pills, the exercise (TaeBo REALLY works), and lots of other stupid things. I ate a cotton ball once... I'm such an idiot.
Exercise is really the only thing that will do. But to kick start it, because I am so depressed right now, I am going on the HCG diet. I will do a daily blog about it and how it works. I have looked up as much as I can about it and have heard testimonials from so many people, that if it doesn't work on me, I will be convinced that I have a serious medical problem.
Ok, that said, today is the starting date of a 3 week long program. Here is how it goes.
Day 1 and 2 EAT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO GAIN FAT WEIGHT.
Take the drops 3 times a day.
Let's stop there. I'll go through the whole diet day to day.  Let's begin shall we?

DAY 1.
I'm on day one and I weigh about 150. My Goal is 120-125. I need to lose 30 pounds of fat which has spread all over my body. My face, legs, tummy and back are pockets of gross, unfit fat.
Today,  I've eaten a LOT today and feel really awful. I hate this already! I feel sick and gross.
Breakfast: I ate 2 bowls of puffed wheat cereal with whole milk. coffee
Lunch: Took Max to Noodles n Co and had a regular bowl of mac n cheese with hambuger, bacon and tomatoes, nantucket juice - I feel ill
Movies: popcorn with butter, dibs, junior mints, slushy
Dinner: 1 pound of crab legs with butter, water, coffee, baked potato with sour cream, salad with ranch, and one biscuit
I feel really sick. My leg hurts. Think my heart is hurting...
Took the drops at 9am, 12am, 6pm

Ok HERE WE GO.
Please work, please work, please work.
