I can do it!

So I started this new diet, The HCG diet. I have got to say it sucks so far. I am only eating 500 calories a day, giving myself a daily shot, and trying to exercise. The shots are fine, no problem, piece of cake. The diet part. . . um can I say sucks big time! Its not only just that I can only have 500 cal, but I have a strict choice of food I can eat from. It has been hard so far, I started the diet on Sunday. All day Sunday I thought about food, what I was missing out on. YUM I wanted to eat anything and everything. I had to work and they had pumpkin chocolate chip cookies here. I love those cookies, why did I have to start today I thought. Then I wanted a burrito with chicken, beans, and cheese. Pretty much anything I couldn't have. . . all of a sudden I needed it to survive, but I didn't give in. I went home starving, I had ate my allowed meals by 6pm and I was still hungry. I woke up still hungry and I had a headache. Great I am not going to last through this diet. I have to do this for 2 months. I cant even think about lasting a week.

Today is day 3 on the diet. I cheated a little. I had a handful of cereal this morning. I couldn't take it I was feeling so deprived that if I didn't do something I would probably eat everything in sight. I ate one bite of that cereal and everything was so much better. I wasn't hungry, I didn't feel like the world was ending anymore. It is amazing what a little sugar can do for you. I know I can't keep cheating but I have come to the conclusion that a little once in awhile is probably good for my sanity. Elaine at work today, she is an angel, made me a awesome salad. I can't have any dressing so she made me a lemon juice, spice thing that did the trick. I love her she is so amazing, especially in the food department. I ate it and was in heaven. I don't feel hungry after the meal at least. So I think I can go a little longer.
I have lost 4-6 lbs so far in the last 3 days so far so good!
