Slim fast is here to save the day

I QUIT the HCG diet! I couldnt do it anymore. Late last night, the more I sat there and thought about it, the more I felt that I didnt need to rush things. I know slow and steady wins the race, I just thought I could out run it. I tend to be one of those people that thinks just because it doesnt work for most doesnt mean it wont work for me. Well, it didnt. I was starving (I dont do starving very well). I was cranky. At the end of the day, I wasnt myself anymore. Everything that people say about it IS true. 


SO. Back to the Slim Fast diet. I was on it before I had started the HCG (I just got impatient) and I was doing great. I wasnt hungry, and my husband and I were having a blast trying new recipes every night. And thats how it should be anyway. A lifestyle change. The slim fast diet isnt crazy restrictive either, and it works for me because I am in no shape to make breakfast for myself in the morning. When you have a toddler screaming bloody murder at 6am to be let out of his room to watch Dora (yes, Dora the Explorer), the last thing you're thinking about is preparing a large nutritious breakfast. I pretty much just stumble out of bed, get him fed, and then half-conciously sing- along to cartoons with him. So, a slim fast fits best (for ME) in there somewhere for me, haha.


On to the juicy part, I know everyone wants to hear. YES, I binged immediately after banishing HCG from my life. It was late at night (favorite time to eat), what do you want from me?! I was subsisting on 500 calories for two days! Yes, I know, everyone told me so! I had a whole bag of Lindt chocolates (so GOOD), and I made a box of pasta (whole wheat) to get my strength back up. But, guess what? I LOST a pound! Haha, I think my body was just happy to have food in it. AND I learned my lesson. No more crazy restrictive diets (no matter HOW MANY testimonials say that say they lost crazy amounts of weight). I WILL eat healthy and not starve myself. 


NEXT BATTLE: I need to get up and get the motivation to work out....It's so gross out today I just want to stay home...:(
