Yesterday morning, I weighed 156.0#, down 1.6# from the day before. This morning, I weighed 153.2#, down 2.8# since yesterday.
Someone wrote to me with some concern about the fact that I started in May at 163.8# and I was currently at 156.0#. She asked if I was happy with my progress and how I had managed to stay so faithful and determined. I answered the following:
The reason the weight popped up again is that I switched to veganism early in the stabilization phase of my last round. I did not yet have the resources to know what to do for a “steak day” or how to arrange my diet. I have learned more about how to balance a vegan diet, and I am looking forward to a more successful stabilization phase this time around.
I suppose one of the reasons I am so determined is that I know what it looks and feels like to be a normal weight. I actually achieved it about a year ago. Unfortunately, a round of the Master Cleanse in January destabilized my weight, and I quickly gained everything back. I was even consulting a doctor at that time for ideas on how to stop the weight gain. He was rather amazed at my rapid weight gain, but he didn’t come up with anything.
I found the hCG protocol and asked the doctor to help me with it. He wanted me to use homeopathic products. Since I don’t have a lot of faith in homeopathic remedies, I chose to do the hCG protocol on my own using pharmaceutical products.
Another reason I am pursuing this is that I simply have been gaining weight too rapidly lately when not carefully watching what I eat.
