Day 40

Weight: 174.5

Yesterday’s food intake went really well, and we went to the Alive At Five gathering in downtown Boise after work.  I ate at my office beforehand, so that I wasn’t tempted to eat the offerings there.

But when I got home I was just wanting more fat or something, even though my stomach was actually full, and I went for the nuts.  And then some more nuts.  Too many calories, overall, and definitely not on the list.  So, I’m not surprised I’m up .5 pound.  I really need to delve into this compulsive behavior.  Self-sabotage is not pretty.

Today would have been my last day of hCG, except that I have between 5 and 8 days left of the cream, so I am going to use it up.  I’m hoping to get to 172 or even less, if I can keep to the list!

I’m looking forward to the Atkins style diet and will be going through my low carb recipes and cook books.  Maybe the over eating is simply about not wanting to be restricted, or maybe I’m just ready to be done with this for awhile.  Only time will tell.
