Yesterday and today were my loading days for the hCG diet. The way I ate these past couple of days would have been insane under any other circumstances. Let’s see if I can remember it all…
Yesterday morning, I had CHEESECAKE after I woke up. On the way to a job, I stopped at a McDonalds and had a SAUSAGE McMUFFIN MEAL. After I finished the job, I went to Panda Express and had CHOW MEIN with HONEY WALNUT SHRIMP and ORANGE CHICKEN. Both of those entrées were battered, deep-fried, and soaked in sweet sauce—very rich! In the afternoon, I had some more CHEESECAKE. For dinner, I had a large link of SAUSAGE with grilled vegetables. After dinner, I packed my hCG in ice and drove down to San Diego. When I got there, I stopped at Denny’s and had BISCUITS AND GRAVY with HASH BROWNS. So that was Friday.
This morning, I had the complementary breakfast buffet at the hotel. I chose QUICHE, BREAKFAST POTATOES, and a few small PANCAKES with WHIPPED CREAM and SYRUP. I also had ORANGE JUICE. After that, I picked up my daughter at college, and we went to her sorority parents brunch (which is why I went to San Diego). I told her about the diet and the loading days. There, I basically had another breakfast. I started with a CROISSANT. Then they served BACON, SCRAMBLED EGGS, and BREAKFAST POTATOES, plus half of a STRAWBERRY and a slice of ORANGE. After that, we went to the mall where I had a large cup of BEN & JERRY’S ICE CREAM. Then we went to the movies. On the way in, I bought a cone of POPCORNOPOLIS CARAMEL CORN, which I shared with my daughter. After the movie, we went to a pizza place, and I had a slice of CHICAGO STYLE MEAT LOVER’S PIZZA. I dropped my daughter off at the local mall and then headed home. Hubby and I went to The Melting Pot for dinner. We had a CHEESE FONDUE, SALAD, and MIXED MEAT FONDUE. After we got home, I finished off what was left of the CARAMEL CORN and the last slice of the CHEESECAKE. My pants are tighter tonight. I definitely ate more than I had a true appetite to eat, but I did not really struggle to do so as so many on the hCG team have reported doing. Scary.
As for weighing, I debated whether to take my scale with me to San Diego. I decided against it because the scale can be a bit temperamental about exactly where on the floor it is put. As it turned out, there was a scale in the hotel bathroom. I decided not to use it, though, because I had no way to calibrate it against my scale. Tomorrow morning’s weight will be a complete surprise. I’m fairly sure my weight will be up.
So that was loading. Tomorrow comes the very low calorie part of the diet.
