My name is Laura, I am 47 years old and permanently disabled due to a pesky steel cage in my spinal column between my tailbone and my 2nd vertabrae. Before the car accident that broke my back, I never had a weight problem, but it became a problem when I ended up spending months and months on bed rest or severely limited activity. It does not matter what or how little you eat, if your only activities of the day are trips to the bathroom...you are going to gain weight. A surgery in 2003 gave me much of my life back, I still can't really work, but I can leave the home without excruciating pain ...I can live now. Except, I am really unhappy with how I look.
After failing at a number of diets and/or failing to keep what weight I did lose off, I was pretty excited when Dr. Dawn told me about the HCG diet, even more so when my family doctor gave me the go ahead. Right now it is easy, the 48 hour loading up period is, quite honestly, an odd sort of eating" Get out of Jail Free” card and I am playing that card like it was the poker game of a life time. Between bites, I have been researching the plan and I can see physiologically how it works (I have taken a few anatomy classes) but what scares me of defeat is the psychological issues....will I be hungry? I HATE being hungry!! Can I sustain this? And most of all, how good can I look before December when when my long distance sweetie arrives for our very first Christmas together.
Eeeek. Nervous. Must be time to continue my loading up and eat ice cream. Drat, another fear...can I overcome nervous/comfort eating? I have to....I just have to. I decided the most honest blog starts at square one with the hope of success and the fear of failure. I really don't want to fail. Cross fingers for me please
