Hi everyone, my name is Julie and I wanted to share what I've been experiencing on my journey with hcg. Been at it for about 2 and a half weeks and down around 13 pounds so far. I wanted to share my experience with people attempting to sabotage our hard work and persistant effort!

My coworker and I frequently drive around as a requirement for our job. She is well aware that I am fed up with my weight and attempting a change of lifestyle, however she is not aware i am on hcg as she will not understand or approve of the protocol ( we have discussed hcg in passing before I started and she is TOTALLY against it) and will forever try to talk me out of it. In order to avoid this annoyance I keep the hcg part to myself, and just tell people I'm doing low carb heart healthy.

Anyways, the other day (keep in mind she is in the know that i have myself on a strict diet plan) she says while on the road, "man, I could go for a reeses cup sundae from carvel, lets swing by there" knowing FULL WELL that this is my UTMOST junk food weakness. To this comment I reply, "No way, I'm not blowing all my efforts." she replies "oh you can have a frozen yogurt. If you deny yourself you're gonna fail." I just said "nope not doing it, I have my own food." She rolls her eyes and throws a "you've lost your mind" in there.


fast forward to this afternoon, I go out to lunch with her and my 2 bosses. Its around noon and I have not been able to have anything I've brought from home yet as I've been running around all morning, so I'm HUNGRY. We stop at a diner and I announce that I have my own food and I will eat when we get back. My coworker says "oh just eat will you? This diet thing with you is getting ridiculous." she made several comments after that "oh but Julie wont have anything, she's on her insanity diet." I just sipped by black coffee and lemon water with an inward smile on my face.


It kills her to see me stick to my guns.



Just wanted to create a place where people could share their sabotaging experiences if they would like, and to remind you that LIFE IS DIFFICULT ON THIS DIET, and not many people will understand what we are doing and will try DESPERATELY to derail you, but you aren't alone! When people see us making such positive changes in our lives and looking better, feeling better and living better, it brings their own insecurities to the surface. Don't give in! Rock on
