12lbs Down :)

I've lived through eight morning injections of HCG and I've lost 12 pounds. I'm very happy with my results so far! I'm down to 134lbs.

I did great at the party on Saturday night. The food and drinks all smelled yummy, but I just wasn't physically hungry. I was so determined not to cheat again, I must have used mind over matter. I wasn't even hungry hours later!

The three really exciting things that have happened for me so far are:
1. I no longer walk straight to the fridge when I walk in the front door (for me, this was the habit of a lifetime).
2. I'm getting better at recognizing that "I'm hungry" is often "I'm bored" or "I'm thirsty"; and
3. I am no longer terrified of injections! It has been YEARS since I've had a shot and not cried (in fact, it may have never happened). I still can't watch my husband give me my injection, but I peeked out from between my fingers this morning and didn't freak out at all. My goal is to be able to watch the whole procedure calmly.
