After 2.5 weeks on the HCG diet, I have quit. I find myself feeling incredibly deprived, and wanting to eat everything in my cabinets. Usually I end up bingeing on crap while cooking dinner. I don't do this when I'm not on a radically restrictive diet. When I allow myself to eat what I want, I don't tend to gorge on junk or want it near as bad. Starting today, I'm going to allow myself to eat what I want, when I'm hungry. I'm going to make a conscious effort to not eat when I'm bored/stressed/mad, stop when I'm full, and eat more fresh fruits & veggies. So far today, I've had a Nature Valley Crunchy Peanut butter bar & a banana. I brought yogurt instead of the bar, but it was pretty runny & didn't look too safe. :/ I've got a baked chicken breast, strawberries & cucumber for lunch, and a pot roast, steamed broccoli & sweet corn on tap for dinner tonight. I've not hit 1000 calories yet, and have also included my snack for today. I did lose just about 2lbs in my time on HCG. I'm sure it could have been more, but I couldn't do it any longer. I was actually mad at my husband for eating the dinner I made for him & our son, while I had a small chicken breast, some cucumber & an apple. It was not a good thing. I did lose about 14 overall inches, most from my chest & stomach, which is great, but also where I tend to lose 1st anytime I try to lose. I'm just going to make a conscious decision to eat better overall, and no more restrictive "fad" diets. They might work, but they drive you nuts & make me binge when I normally wouldn't.
