HCG 15

Two weeks have gone by... and I am still at it.

Weight-wise, all that panic last week was because it is that time of the month... whew! I normally gain five pounds before my period, but it seems that with the diet, I gained that pound one day, and another pound two days afterward, but am now not doing badly... yesterday (officially two weeks) I was down almost 12 1/2 pounds, to 320.4, measurements are not doing well still because of the way my body is, at 41.5(-1.5 total), 45.75(+.25 total) and 63.25(-.75 total).

Today I dropped a lot of that "period" weight, so I am currently 318, down 14.8 pounds! Insane!!

Emotionally I am a total wreck. With the advent of my period has also come the most hungry I have been. I am having cravings like crazy, which is usual at this time even without the diet. I get cranky if I don't have "x" when I want it, and so lets just say I sleep a lot at the moment... the only solution I have to being upset. I cry a lot; being depressed and under these kinds of restrictions is not for the faint of heart. I totally need a shoulder to cry on, but don't have one, so this is the only place I can let anything out. I feel the anxiety badly, but keep telling myself that I only have twenty-five more days before the diet restrictions ease some and that I can do anything for forty days....

Physically I am still a wet noodle; in my call to my doctor, he told me to get some kind of herbal support for my adrenal glands, and to salt my food since I could be lacking in sodium. I have to call again because I forgot what he told me to get.
