It is noon. Oddly enough, this diet works completely opposite of when I was losing weight counting calories. I was usually fine with that throughout the day, and then I would get super hungry at night. With the HCG I hit my struggling point mid-day (um, like right now), and at night, I have no problem. I am very hungry right now, and the kids just went out the door to go to Dairy Queen. Could that be the reason why? I have made my chicken salad but haven't eaten it yet. What I have found as well, is that if I eat and wait about a half an hour, the temptation and hunger goes away. I used to just give into the hunger and temptation. This diet is really allowing me to take a closer look at my hunger, and figure out how to work with my body. Amazing! :)
It is 1pm and I am just finishing my salad. I feel much better. I am also going to eat my portion of gluten-free breadsticks. Then I am taking Mackenzie to the mall. I am going to take 5 peices of Melba toast with me, as well as an apple, just in case I get super hungry. Oh- and of course, my water bottle.
I just got back from the mall, it is 5:00 pm. I only ate my 5 pieces of melba toast and my sports bottle of water. I am pretty hungry though, so I am going to make some sirloin steak (think filet mignon). We will see what recipe I come up with. I think I will have cucumbers with it.
It is 9:00. I thought I may need to eat a bit more before I go to bed, since I was low on calories. I told you this diet worked so different on me!!! I decided to have a strawberry slushy...I wonder if I will ever get tired of those things! I really hope I can keep up this 1/2 pound a day weight loss!

I would rate today an 8. It is so hard to rate the days at the end of the day, because I always end the day feeling great. But I didn't work out today, and I did struggle with some temptations. This was probably the worst day for temptations because I was out at the mall and such, oh- and I made pumpkin spice muffins! But, all and all, as long as I stick with the diet, I will never rate the day below an 8, because that is what I call success! :)
