Hey Buddies! So I had the worst day yesterday... not only for my diet (which I wrecked entirely... total epic fail!) but also for my personal life. I was in a terrible mood at work because my boss just gets under my skin, so I leave for lunch to calm down. Lunch was nice, I went out with my roomie, but found out while there that my grandmas had a stroke! My g-ma also has cancer and is progressively getting worse =( I went back to the office after that and told my boss what'd happened and I was on my way to Modesto (about an hour from me). My mom and niece were down there and when I walked in the room, she looked terrible! Her hair was super matted like no one has been taking care of her, but she has a lady that's supposed to come in and help her out every day... doesn't seem to be the case! She looked super pale though and kept asking the same questions over and over every 10 seconds or so! She even asked if her daughter Debbie was coming several times... my mom was the one she was asking this to! She's in ICU right now with a kidney infection and the stroke, I guess they're going to run a series of tests for the confusion... it just really sucks!
So after that I know I'm stressed and in a bad mood and the bf talked to me the day before yesterday about something that's been on his mind... nothing big and very fixable. But me being so stressed yesterday, something so small turned into a ridiculous fight. We've also never fought about anything... we are good about talking and discussing how we feel, so it just escalated and I felt like such a bitch about it... cuz it was really a nothing fight =( Thankfully he's a good guy and tried really hard to calm me down yesterday even though I'm being an asshole, and he called me this morning to clear the air and said he was gonna come see me tonight... after which I felt like more of an asshole and apologized whole-heartedly! He was super understanding and said he understood I was stressed and he was sorry too, glad I got everything I need to say out. So at least that turned out good.
So here's my dilemma... I just don't feel motivated enough to do such a rigid diet and I think I'm gonna go back to Weight Watchers or South Beach... I'm just afraid that if I stop it and start eating healthy again, it'll come right back. Thoughts?

It's not about what diet you are on. It's about using more energy than you consume, and more importantly about dedication and willpower and motivation. Switch diets if you feel like you need to. You need to have something that will fit your lifestyle.

Also, I am really sorry to hear about your grandma... I know how tough that can be, especially when you see that she hasn't been taken care of the way she is supposed to be.

If you are switching diets I would make sure you follow phase 3 carefully for the full 6 weeks before you change eating habits. Other than that ((((hugs)))) for all that you are going through right now.

So sorry to hear about your g-ma, I really hope things change for the better for her & that she receives the proper care & treatment she needs. If you're stopping the hCG VLCD, you will need to do at least 1 week refeeding. The best way I found for this is to add 200 - 300 calories aday (I like to do this by eating raw) until you reach 2000 calories. Then you can safely switch back over to any other diet.

Wow thats a lot to go through all at once - sometimes life just isn't nice, or fair. Take a deep breath, and try and relax. Good luck with everything.
