HCG 21

... I think it is day 21 anyway...

My weight has plateaued at 314.6... which is down 18.2 pounds. Not bad, but I worry even though I expected it. The measurements play out that things are happening (finally)... 40.75 (-.75 from last week), 44.75 (-1 from last week) and 62.5 (-.75 from last week).

Emotionally I am still a wreck, as I suspect I will be the whole time. One thing is that hope thing, which I try to dampen; I have been through the diet go-around many, many times. Two is the food thing... when bad food comes in (or even good food), my nose knows... I want Cheerios. There was also potato chips and pasta sides, and boy do they smell good (even though the brain knows they are not). I have also been craving a steak... I think I can do that, but carefully.

I do have bruises from the injections (I just bruise easily) and I still have the weakness (need to go to the health food store for stuff). The food is expensive (well at least more expensive than doing the cheapo carbohydrates, which is normal around here), and goes bad very quickly (have had to throw out strawberries).
