sounds like she needs slapped!

I am hiding it from most folks. And, there are several reasons why. First, most people who have not read Pounds and Inches will freak out over the thought my eating 500 calories per day, and would freak out even more if they knew I was taking shots too. Secondly, I have been fat since I was 4. I have went through life listening people say "you need to loose weight"...but when I begin to diet or do something to loose weight, they would be the first person to bring me a slab of chocolate cake. The majority of the people in my life are not supportive with my weight loss weather they realize it or not. I have not shared my dieting with them, although most have noticed I am loosing weight and have commented. Third, I don't want everyone knowing my business and then trying to share their "wisdom" with me. Forthly, if I fail, I do not want people to say "she only lost weight because of the shots but could not maintain it...."

I am sure there are more reasons why that I cannot think of.

My husband knows. My sister knows. And now that I have had some great success loosing almost 70 pounds (28 with HCG and the other before HCG), I have SLOWLY been telling folks about HCG.

*SIGH* People redare SOOOOO blah.... Just this morning one of my co-workers asked me if I was loosing weight. She has asked me several times before, and I have always avoided answering. So this morning she asked again. I said "yes, I have lost some weight". She asked, "how much, 20 pounds?" I paused considering what negativity she could spew if I told the truth.... I said "68 pounds". She exclaimed, "68 pounds!!!!! I did not think you had 68 pounds to loose." OH THERE IT IS....there is her negativity. :-( Now, for some folks, this might not have sounded ugly at all. But at my heaviest, I weighed 296. And, I still weigh above 225. I have lost a lot, but I am FAR from done. So her comment did not sound like a compliment to me, but a backwards-compliment (otherwise known as a slam). And her tone......it was just ugly. So, it irritated me. Then she exclaimed loudly, "Look at her!!! She will not even eat a donut." I said, "Stop. Don't do that." The room was beginning to fill up with my other co-workers.

Discretion is a lost art.
