Hey guys so I’ve been on the HCG diet for the past 3 weeks and I’ve lost 20 lbs.

Before I started this diet I was in a pretty deep depressive state and had gained 50lbs. I could see my body begging me to stop. My skin was dull and I’m covered in stretch marks. The ones on my arms are the worst. I’ve spent hours crying over the fact that I won’t ever be able to wear tank tops again. My stomach looks like I’ve had a baby. The weird thing is you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at me in clothes, my skin is just super susceptible to stretch marks.

ANYWAY now that I’ve had success the idea of eating more than 500 calories a day is giving me so much anxiety. This diet is incredibly restrictive and it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I can’t wait to be off of it but I’m also TERRIFIED of gaining back all the weight and never being able to reach my goal.

I have a plan trust me I don’t need help with that part. It’s the fact that every time I see or smell food that’s not the bland grossness I’ve been eating I get so anxious because I want it but I feel like if I even look at it I’ll gain weight. I’m also scared I’ll never be able to enjoy anything again.

I don’t really know what I’m asking I just needed to talk about this.
