HCG Diet

I have been on the HCG diet (injections) since March 10th. I started out weighing in at 291 pounds and gained 2 pounds on Phase 1. So far I have lost 11.2 pounds in Phase 2. Yesterday I gained 14ozs but I think it is just messed up a bit becasue I started my period yesterday. Buying Groceries has become challenging, I didn't realize that so many things had so much sugar in them. I have been eating alot of salads with chicken on top. I am not suppossed to have dressing, but I can't give up my light ranch. I tried the ranch vineagrette, it is okay-but still not as good. I have also been eating alot of stir fry- technically I am not suppossed to have soy sauce or oyster sauce because it does have sugar in it- but I don't know how else to eat it. No oil, fat, or butter hasn't been as challenging as I thought it would be, but it is challenging when Chris wants a fried pork chop. sigh. Today I had tillapia and asparagus- it was actually better than I expected. I have discovered that my favorite apple is the Pink Lady- almost like a granny smith, but a tad sweeter and redish. I have had to cheat a few times because of my blood sugar dropping, but I don't think it really hurt me any.
I want chocolate really bad- especially when Chris ate the Russell Stover Peanut Butter Bunny infront of me the other night. Plus I would love some McDonald's fries...but a girl has to do what a girl has to do. I still need to lose 120 pounds to be ideal. It's going to be a long road, but I think I can do it.
