Getting Started

For those of you interested in starting HCG, I would encourage you to sing up with one the HCG Yahoo Groups. It is helpful to read Pounds & Inches to get background information on how the protocol came about and what it entails. Also, there are reference files there. After that, jump in. Don't read my post and think it does not work. It does but don't think it will solve all of your issues. I have seen people who do have emotional eating problems and HCG doesn't cure that. My best advice is to find start the protocol and then determine your weaknesses. If you already know them then you have a place to start.

Some days I have no problem at all. Other days I am so frustrated that I use it as a form of defeat. Then it may rain one morning and I wanted it to be sunny so my day feels ruined. It sounds really crazy but it actually does seem to ruin my day. Ask questions but take it with a grain of salt. I've never been the type to give up. When it comes to my weight loss, I can give this up but I will always have challenges losing weight. The main thing I have learned is not being able to lose weight doesn't mean you don't want to, so don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Don't convince yourself that you are happy at your current weight because it seems too difficult.

For me, finding work, studying for exams and getting a degree has never been a challenge for me. Losing weight is. Probably because I had to put so much of myself into it.
