Beta HCG Diet -- Down 10 Pounds But Not Enjoying Food

Wow! I'm really down 10 pounds! I'm already fitting into pants I haven't been able to wear in awhile. I'm not hungry. I'm eating real food.

Only problem is...I'm not enjoying most of the food I'm eating. It tastes awful! Frozen lobster tail that tastes fishy. Leftover chicken from restaurants that was good the first time but tasteless when I eat it at home. Vegetables so dry, chewy or limp that I can hardly choke them down.

Well, at least the fruit is good. And the melba toast. I never particularly liked eating an apple by itself, found it did weird things to my stomach. Now I'm loving it and getting along fine with it. A whole orange seems like a lot of food. Strawberries are great, at least the ones I eat when they're first fresh, before I freeze them.

Tonight I went to Longhorn Steakhouse and had a filet. Well, half of one, the other half is now in my fridge for tomorrow. OMG, was it good! My vegetable was asparagus, naked, and it was edible, at least. Half of it is also in my fridge, as is a lobster tail that was the other item in my combo order. This lobster won't taste fishy!

Blah food won't make it into my lifestyle when I go off of HCG. If I truly want to change my lifestyle I can't go back to the way I was eating before. So I have to make the food I eat at home taste as good as what I get in a restaurant. Ha! Good luck with that. Or I have to go out more and take home doggie bags. Oooooh, expensive!

Well, thanks to Longhorn at least I know I have tasty food for the next two meals. And a friend who's a terrific cook lent me her George Forman grill so we'll see if that helps. Stay tuned....
