1Body4Sixty – Day 2


Peggy – 219 lbs (0.0)

Hello! This is the second of the first two days in which 1Body4Life Medical Center asks you to ‘pig out’ and eat all the sugar and carbs you want. Both yesterday and today, I estimate that I ate 3,500 calories per day!! I come from a large family of big eaters, so it comes naturally.

Breakfast was four (yes four) pieces of French toast with syrup & butter. Lunch was red beans and rice and dinner was the other half (yes, half) of the large cheese, sausage and pepperoni pizza that I had for last night’s dinner. I also snacked on a couple of candy bars!!

I still awoke 4 or 5 times during the night, as usual. Amazingly I still weighed the same 219 lbs. upon arising this morning. I had thought that I would surely weigh 225 lbs. after eating all the food that I ate yesterday!

Okay, okay, I know that the fun is over and the work starts tomorrow! I have 38 more days of 1Body4Life Medical Center’s HCG diet. I know I can do this! It has taken several years to gain eighty extra pounds, so forty days should be a piece of cake. (Perhaps that was the wrong metaphor to use!)

After my thirties, my serious weigh issues began. An early menopause at age 45 packed on 25 lbs. (And they say there is no connection between the two!) Then the first time I quit smoking, I gained another 25 lbs. I went eight months without smoking and really didn’t desire to smoke, however, I began again to combat the continual weight gain. Then three years ago, I quit again and, well…..more weight. However, I choose to remain smoke free!

Yes, it is true that I am not very physically active. The good news, no, the great news is that 1Body4Life Medical Center’s HCG diet does not require physical exertion!!! So moving forward, the challenge continues!
