Frustrated Again
First, I decide to ask so called HCG supporters for help because no matter how many more vegetables I eat it is not filling me up. Most say you should eat fiber in your diet but besides the apple there isn't too much fiber to work with. I'm not certain if I need more fiber, starch, carbs or what but my stomach feels just as empty before I eat the meat and veggies than it does afterwards. To some, that is an excuse. I am making this up. I really don't feel this way. What?!? I know the difference between wants and needs. I want something sweet but I don't get it. I'm not feeling like I want to pass out because I don't have something sweet. I've always been about finding a solution. I do want to be reasonable and find something within the protocol that works. But what if I don't? Is that reason to quit and say HCG isn't for me? NO! I have said from Day 1 that I seem to struggle more than most and want to encourage and find a way for others to succeed. No, not by visiting the drive thru and not cheating just to cheat but finding legitimate ways that work.
Then I was trying to tell my mother about my frustrations. She doesn't know anything about HCG and most people end up telling me I feel this way because I am deprived of foods I want. Then she says your problem is you eat after 6pm. I work 7:30-6 and go to bed around 11. I told her that works for her because she is sleep by 8. So now I am suppose to starve if I need to eat at 6:30. Generally, I don't eat after 8:30 so now my excess weight is because of that.
I give myself credit for trying but am more frustrated because trying hasn't found a solution and hasn't given me much progress in terms of weight loss. I love salads but they have to have all the toppings and dressing. The protocol doesn't allow it. Do I say, well I can have a small salad anyway? No, I don't tempt myself. Instead, I say well I can deal with the spinach, bok choy, cabbage, and a few others. Chicken breast is my worst piece of chicken so I don't attempt to eat it knowing I can't stand it. I choose other meats on the list. So, when I cheat, it isn't on purpose. I don't wake up in the morning and say what can I have that I'm not suppose to just like a person doesn't wake up and say I want to be poor today or homeless.
To end this post today, I am frustrated but determined. I want to look back and say remember you said I didn't want to lose weight because I was having trouble. Well, I am human and I made it. This is what I did. Now I can help someone else.

Here's something you can try - I found that a smoothie can be very filling. I take blend together non-fat cottage cheese, strawberries, ice and stevia (try splenda since you don't like the stevia). You could also freeze these as a mock frozen yogurt. I find it has about the same flavor as yogurt. Also, have you tried eggs instead of fish? Oranges have a higher satiable rating than other fruits (I think I posted that somewhere in my blog but not sure). I find the melba toast to be more satisfying than the grissini (I gorge on these). Although – if you’ve been keeping up on my blog – I’m not doing well this round. I am currently working on the mental piece to get past my block.
