phase 3 musings
Well, someone said phase 3 can be scary, and I agree--but amazingly only went up .5 today. It really seems already that my hypothalamus has been reset a bit, because I feel like I'm eating a lot--yet not gaining! It's amazing!
I just wanted to share an interesting thought. I've kind of been looking at this journey as a fast, where I'm physically giving up certain foods for spiritual reasons. Well, today I opened the Bible to the section where Jesus went off into the wilderness to fast for 40 days. Gee, 40 days sounds kind of familiar! Then it said something like, "afterward, he was hungry." Hmmmm---so Jesus was on phase 3 too! And that's when he was tempted by the devil to turn the stones into bread. He resisted by saying "man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." It was a great reminder that if we look at the spiritual dimension of our weight loss, it can only enrich our lives. It also showed me how phase 3 can be the place of our biggest temptations--we're eating more food, with more choices-so it's easier to be tripped up! Lord, please help all of us in phase 3 to stick to the protocol and emerge from this phase victorious!
Anyone want to share thoughts on this? Thanks, Merry

Im no HCG pro but i am smart enough to know that the bible is a fake, i wouldnt belive anything you read in there. Its more of a guideline on how to live not a set in stone plan.
Way to go Merry. I'm glad the diet is going so well for you!
