My HCG journey..

 For as long as I can remember, I struggled with my weight, maybe because the boy I dated when I was 16 told me that my thighs were fat, not that I was overweight at all at that time, but somewhere deep inside in stuck, and refuse to let go... After my pregnancies, things just went totally overboard, to a point where I really did not care anymore.
That was until I saw a picture of myself at my cousin's wedding last year and I realised I am heading on a self-destruction path, and it is a path where only I can change the destination, and there and then I decided that I need to stop and re-think things a little.
I was introduced to the HCG Program by a dear friend. At first I was scared and unsure, I doubted in my ability to take on this challenge and succeed. But then I realised that I am not doing this for anybody else but myself. And I also realised that this is not just a diet or a miracle cure, no, this is a life style change.
You see, that is where millions of people make the mistake, cause so many people start following a “diet”, start eating healthy (and maybe do a bit of exercise) but as soon as they lose those unwanted kg’s and reach their target weight, they stop with the healthy eating, they stop with the exercise and plunge back in the deep dark pool of unhealthy living. They jump back to the take-away’s and burgers and chips and chocolates, and over-stuff their faces. And yes, by doing that you will gain back all the weight you have lost and some more.
A healthy lifestyle is not just about doing a crash course diet to lose a few pounds and be happy with that, no, a healthy lifestyle means making better and healthier choices that will only be an advantage not only to yourself but to your health as well. It means spending more time with friends and family in the outdoors..forget about your phone...forget about the tv...get your ass of that damm couch and set foot outside, shock your brain with some fresh air. And the myth that eating healthier means you need to spend more time in the kitchen is a load of bull. No you do not need to spend more time in the kitchen, you only need to learn to plan your meals smarter, when making supper, make a little bit extra, cause by doing that, you will have lunch for the next day. Keep a bottle of water on your desk to make sure you drink water on a more regular basis. Take a walk around the block (for me this is a little bit easier as we live in a small rural community where there is not that much crime, so I can actually go for a walk when I get home after work in the week, and on week-ends, I wake up before the rest of the house and go for a walk) I have found that going for these walks actually help me clear my head much more that I would have thought it would do, it helps me focus and get everything back into perspective. It is my “me time”.
By changing my lifestyle, eating habits and doing the HCG Program, I have managed to lose 12kg’s and an overall loss of 3.5 cm’s, and I feel great!
I have managed to regain some of my confidence in myself again. I can actually look into a mirror without being disgusted. But by reaching this goal, I have not stopped, I still try and eat as healthy as possible (yes I still allow myself to indulged in the no-so-healthy-things-in-life) and I still try and be as active as possible. And by doing this I have managed to keep my weight steady.
So yes, this is possible, but you have to take that first step, you have to make that decision for yourself and you have to dedicate yourself and realise that this is not a quick fix, you have to realise that this is a lifestyle change, cause as soon as you do that, everything becomes very simple and easy.
