Well, if you’ve noticed I haven’t been faithful about this feature lately!
I’ve not been off my diet or going crazy. Our summer has been SO busy and I changed the diet that I’m doing.
In my experience, people aren’t supportive unless you’re losing weight in a manner they approve of! If it’s not one of the big name diets there’s a lot of flak to deal with.
So, I’ve been pretty mum about what I’m doing. And since I wasn’t really telling what I was doing, I didn’t feel right about posting on “Tellin’ the Truth”.
Here’s the deal–
In the late spring after several months of research, I switched to the HCG diet. I take homeopathic drops and follow a very strict diet.
I’m eating healthy food and taking the prescribed breaks. The breaks are great because I have to learn how to maintain my weight loss.
I had a lot of reservations and things I was unsure of. However, I decided to give it a try. I’m not one to jump on bandwagons or take pills to lose weight.
But in the past, I’ve taken Arrbonne’s weight loss supplement, green tea supplements, sugar busters (or something like that) and so I wasn’t opposed to taking something. I just didn’t want it to be like Phen-phen and have horrible side effects.
I’ve used homeopathy for several years, so a homeopathic supplement was right up my alley.
I gave this diet a try and began losing weight. I’m really happy that I’ve finally found something that worked. Weight Watchers wasn’t cutting it for me at all. Unfortunately I had/have a LOT of weight to lose and I was trying and trying and nothing worked. I was about to give up again before my friend shared this diet with me.
I’m thrilled with the results.Since January of 2010 I’ve lost 71 lbs.
20 on Weight Watchers and the rest on this new plan.
I’m really tickled because I’ve tried for so long with no results. I thought maybe I’d just always be overweight. It’s really frustrating to work so hard and have few if any results.
I’ve had to get smaller clothes. My swim suit hangs off my backside! My wedding ring is going to have to be downsized soon. I pull my skirt off and on without unbuttoning just for the fun of it! I’ve had a lot of realizations about myself and food as well and I’m learning a lot about my body.
I still have weight to lose but I finally feel like it’s possible!
I’m sure you may have questions, and I’ll be happy to help you if I can. I’m not interested in negative comments about the diet though. I made an informed decision and I’m reaping the rewards of my healthy eating and I’m not about to go back on the “approved diet” treadmill anytime soon!
