Tomorrow

Tomorrow we're heading to the big city (or near it) to get my HCG potion.  That means it's really going to happen again, huh?  This will be the sixth round.  Sadly, I'm at the weight I was after the first round was over.  How lame is that?

I gained it back (again and again) mostly because of surgeries, once because my doctors gave me bad advice: four cycles in a year is WAY too much, especially with my history of thus far inexplicable rapid weight gain cycles (those are so not fun).

I am feverishly hoping this time, having no surgeries scheduled and it being just one cycle in a year, that my body will accept the lower weight and just chill.  It better, as I'm going to do a long cycle and those SUCK.  If you're interested in the HCG diet, don't believe the hype that says you won't feel hungry, you'll feel good, and you'll lose 1-2 pounds per day.  None of that is true.

But for me, it's been the only way to get any off at all, though, as Isildur said in Lord of the Rings, "I buy it with great pain."  Even so, thinking that in a couple of months, I'll be down quite a bit again makes me smile.  Thinking of my cracked and bleeding hands (no lotion of any type allowed on the diet--in the winter) does not.
