A Huge Goal.

I am starting a HUGE lifestyle change this week. This lifestyle change is sadly a major part of my life: food. When I say food, I am mostly talking more about an emotional aspect of my life rather than a physical aspect. And specifically, I am talking about the food that I love and really cannot say no to (Olive Garden, Rib City's Three Cheese Fries, lots and lots of bread, lots of other carbs and sugars since thus far in my life, I have considered myself a carbivore!) This is a huge change, one of the biggest I have ever tried to make. It is a pretty controversial diet, but I am doing it under the strict supervision of a nurse practitioner, several doctors, and a nutritionist. I had to have a full on physical, and even had blood work done before I could start the diet. It is the HCG diet, and it is not a diet you take lightly. I start Wednesday, eating whatever I want, loading up on a lot of food both Wednesday and Thursday, and then severally reducing my caloric intake the next 21 days. I will most likely do 2 to 3 cycles, taking 3 week breaks between each cycle. I do not expect everyone to understand, or even like how I am going about doing this. I would not even recommend it to everyone. But what I do ask is that you are supportive and respectful of what I am doing. This is hard, and the more support I get the better. I started another blog to document my journey. You can follow me by clicking here. Thank-you ahead of time for your support. I appreciate it.
