I am on week 5 of the HCG injections and Vit B12 Injections. And, I cannot keep my story to myself…read moreany longer!!
I am a mom to 3 beautiful children, a wife of 19 years and I have struggled with my weight like there is no tomorrow. I think about food and I gain 30 pounds. My weight has been a continued problem and issue since my last child was born with severe disabilities. Although I have break throughs of taking better care of myself, when crisis surfaces, IEP meetings, Constant doctoring, or whatever the issue may be, it can easily change my focus of a healthier me, and I end up bigger than I left the last time.
The reason for me sharing this is not only because I have lost 25# in 5 weeks, (including 5 days I took off for Thanksgiving, my birthday, and hosting an Ice Cream Social for 150 guests at my house), but moreover, how I feel.
I have done the HCG drops before and did have success, but not without some major issues. My thinking became slow, I couldn't recall things, and my teeth started turning a grey tone. I was told this was because the concentration of HCG was not high enough, and my body was starving and was wanting to shut down to preserve the energy. Scary.
NOT THIS TIME!!!! Wow- what a difference! I haven't lost a beat! In fact, I have accomplished more in these last 5 weeks than I did all summer. All because my moods are even along with increased energy, I have been able to focus and get jobs done that I have been wanting to do, but not having the energy or desire to get the task accomplished. Hosting 28 people for T-giving, painting my basement, painting doors, Hosting an Ice Cream Social for 150 people at my home, Hosting 25 people for a dinner party the night before that! The list is endless.
After my son was born, my nervous system changed. I had never experienced this amount of stress or grief. My son is deaf/blind, cannot walk or talk at the age of 8. So my energy and mood is the real story here. Perhaps it is the Vit B shot? Perhaps it is because I am not filling my body full of junk, but instead choosing really good and healthy foods. Perhaps it is the timing to really take care of me. I am loving that my clothes are fitting again, but the best part is, that I feel like I did before Andrew was born. Something happened to my nervous system and that is changing as we speak. I don't feel depressed. I don't feel overwhelmed. I am happy. Optimisitic. I want to engage in the world, my kids world, my friends and family. I feel like I am coming back, and you cannot put a price tag on that.
Thank you Dr. Lisa Erhard for your help. I am feeling amazing, and I am just getting started!
