HCG Round Four Day Thirteen

Whew! The extra time off was correct; this round is as fierce as the first one. I am not quite as weak as a kitten, but that is because I keep B12 manufacturers in business. I started this round at 228.2, I think, and now I am 219.6... I had to use a calculator to do the math :D... that is 8.6 pounds down, just over 113 pounds total.
The weakness is there, but my eyes are drying out again and the constipation is back too. I feel fortunate that the side effects are not too much that I couldn't do the diet, that they can be somewhat neutralized.
As for hunger, I am mentally starving! I think that it is because of the immense pressure I am under at the moment.... last two weeks of college classes, last three weeks of my son's school, changes at church; the list goes on, but the result is that I want food. I have actually reached out for food I cannot have and then checked myself. My only "cheat" was that I accidentally licked barbeque sauce off my finger when I was at lunch with my husband (he had the boneless wings, I had the 3.5oz. of steak and broccoli like I was supposed to). So I definitely thank God and repeat my mantra a lot... "I can do anything for forty days".

HCG Round Four Day One

This day could not have started worse; my nightmares are tamer, and that's saying something. During the last two days, I have gained three pounds and this morning, on my last run, I was five minutes behind my usual time! Can anxiety, stress and depression really cripple someone this badly this fast? Cheese Whiz! I have been very anxious about this round, which confuses me... I have done this three times before!
Well, so my official starting weight (cringe) is 228.2. This is the gorge period, but I am afraid of that too. I changed my chicken nuggets into a double burger at Burger King. My goal is now a maybe, that I will be one-hundred-and-something at the end of this round, but you know, I have always set a goal that was just out of reach... what's with that anyway?

HCG Round Four is Coming....

I took a major break, but round four of HCG will be within the week. I read what I have and realized that I have never really talked about how much thought goes into this for me. Yes, anyone who knows me knows that I am CDO (OCD put in order) and that I over-think and make lists for everything; this diet is no exception.
I actually plan what I am going to eat over the three-day binge period; this time, I will do McDonalds as usual (with my crappy eating coach, Luke), a KFC bowl, a breakfast sandwich at Chick-Fil-A, a quiche from the cafe down the road, a blizzard and Charlie & Millie's Pizza.
The diet itself (the next forty days) is pretty set in stone, since I am a picky eater, lettuce (baby greens), Wasa bread, chicken or turkey and a strawberry sorbet with the four strawberries I am allowed, and once or twice I will have half a steak and a serving of broccoli at Applebees. I drink Powerade Zero and tons of herbal tea.
When I get off the diet, I will most likely have a list of things that I ran across during the forty days that I wanted to eat but could not; I have them mentally filed as well. If it is not sugar or carbs, I can add a few to the next two weeks. What I crave the most during this two week modified diet is cheese (perfect food).
After the two week modified diet, I can (technically) eat what I want to. This is the time that my weight greatly fluctuates, and I have to take a week or two to finally figure the food thing out. After that, eating is not so much of a big deal until I have to prepare for the next round (and hopefully round five will be the last one).
