A Week Later...

Hello, again! I'm pleased to say that I've been eating normally (about 1500 calories a day) and I haven't gained a pound back. I weigh 197.2 pounds.

I've been doing cardio a few times a week and riding my bike a lot. I got these fancy new shoes that make me feel awesome when I exercise... I've never had 'workout' shoes before really, and these feel so light on my feet. I love them!

I haven't written lately because I've been trying to give myself a little rest from the whole 'diet' lifestyle. It was starting to make me a little crazy. I was very pleased to find, though, that I have no cravings for 'bad' foods. We went to a Chinese buffet for dinner last night and I didn't have a single piece of fried food. Plus, I ate one single layer plate of chicken, vegetables, and sushi with no noodles or extra rice. For desert, I had some fruit and cottage cheese. And it was easy. It wasn't a struggle. I wasn't fighting to convince myself not to have any egg rolls. I just didn't want any.

After all of the struggles I've had with food in my life, it feels wonderful to be able to happily make healthy choices. Or even to be able to say no after one if I slip. (One donut is much better than 6!)

I am very happy with my choice to use the Formula One diet drops, as difficult as it was at times. It gave me the boost I needed. Now that I can fit into all of my clothes and truly see a difference in my body when I look in the mirror, I am much more motivated and confident in my ability to get to my target weight range. I feel healthy and I'm loving it!

Anyone else using Formula One or any other type of HCG alternative drops? I'd love to hear about your experience!
