How it feels to gorge

Well Monday began my most crazy and probably unusual attempt at weight loss. By now everyone is familiar with the hcg diet so I don't need to go into detail. I just wanted to comment on what it feels like to be able to eat all you want of whatever you want for 2 days. It feels terrible. It feels so unnatural and by the end of the first day I was so nauseated. I began my day pretty well with a fruit smoothie but it quickly went down hill from there. Between breakfast and lunch and over the course of the next 48 hours I would finish off an entire pound of chocolate covered cinnamon bears! In addition, for lunch I ate chicken fried steak and mashed potatos and gravy. By dinner the very thought of food made me ill but I knew that the instructions to this diet clearly stated that the sucess or failure of the diet depended on the success of the loading phase. So for dinner I went out with Wayne to Olive Garden. It was all I could do to eat a bowl of soup, 2 breadsticks and a strawberry lemonade. I brought my dinner home to eat the next day. On Tuesday my breakfast was a scrambled egg. Lunch was 8 chicken nuggets and a diet coke and dinner was my left overs from the night before. We had buttered popcorn for a snack before bed. I was actually looking forward to starting the real diet part of this diet. I got on the scale on Wednesday morning and I had successfully gained 2 pounds from Monday! Boy I hope this works or I shall really look foolish. Today is Wednesday and my first official very low calorie diet day. For breakfast I turned a handful of strawberries into a smoothie with ice and splenda. I had 2 melba toast snack crackers and 3 oz of lean steak for lunch and 1/2 apple for a snack. For dinner I had another 3 oz of steak. I even made it through all 2 liters of my water. No cheating today!! No gum, no pop, no candy no fun. And I didn't even snap at anyone - or at least I don't think I did. They say you aren't hungry on this diet and for the most part this is true. I am not starving but I definately notice the lack of food. I'm pretty tired and it's only 9:00. Well I'll keep you all posted. Michelle
