You Can Lead A Horse To Water…..

Hey all! So, we are 15 days on our diet, Shel and I are seeing the dramatic results that KT talks about in his book and as documented in Dr. Simeon’s manual, “Pounds and Inches”. Obviously the people that know us are curious about how we managed to noticeably lose weight in such a short time. Lets face it, we’ve all dieted--myself included BUT this is the first time I got these results in such a short amount of time.

I think the major difference is that the HCG Diet targets fat….picture dissolving your fat…wouldn’t that dramatically change the way you look? The pounds you are losing is FAT. That, right there is why the results are so startling!

I should finish this phase of the diet on June 25th (I decided to stay on for 40 days) and Shel is done on June 2nd. Perfect timing because my Williams Sonoma dinner party will be on Saturday, June 26th. Yes, I am aware that the party according to the website should be on Saturday, June 5th but, I’m having my floors done so…. not happening. I received my party pack and its AWESOME. In the box they sent are a set of Calphalon’s new griddle and grill set, over a dozen Calphalon utensils, Michael Symon’s new cookbook, a Williams Sonoma apron and kitchen towel set and a $100.00 American Express gift card. YAY!

Getting back to those curious people. Many won’t do the diet. Why not? Because they all have excuses as to why they can’t. The excuses are…”Oh, that sounds too restrictive” (really?…you’ve been eating whatever you want your whole life, this is for approximately 3 weeks...perspective please), “Gee, I think I’d be hungry” (well, this is a DIET and the hunger does go away…use your willpower and get over it), “Gosh, that may be expensive” (its not, if you want it to happen…make it happen and find a better excuse) and my all time favorite is “I’m not comfortable because the drops aren’t FDA approved”….REALLY? Well, you should be happy to know that all the hormones, steroids, pesticides, etc. that are currently in food widely distributed are FDA approved…ENJOY! Come on, I’m no tree hugger but basically, if you want a change and the thought of getting on a scale makes you sick…quit making excuses and do something for yourself. If Miss. Butter Queen and I can do it….
