I'm doing the HCG diet, 500 calories a day for 23 days. I watched a couple of my friends get rid of weight they'd worked on for years. I'm at the 6th day, and have lost 3 pounds. I 'd like to look the way I did forty years ago, but I doubt that will happen. I'd like to be able to go without blood pressure medicine, and I expect that will happen. Several unexpected gifts have come my way with this exercise.
First of all, my friend Pat loaded me up with info about the plan, and demonstrated it in action. One gift was that she shared this with me, and another (from me to me) that I didn't dismiss it out of hand. Not only that, I did the historically unthinkable, and talked to other people (such as my daughter the doctor) about it ahead of time.
The gift of the moment is that in eating so little every day, I have rediscovered the flavors of food, and begun to explore the joy of spices! Food is a great gift, and around here we have so much that we, at least I, really have not been enjoying every mouthful. Today I say YUM.
