How to deal with HCG Bullys!!!
DO NOT DISCOUNT YOURSELF!
You heard me!
Hi guys! So, I know I mostly jot stuff down about the diet. And my biggest peeve today was something regarding my diet...but something that EVERYONE faces...sometimes everyday!
Haters!
Mine are all over the place! Haha I've actually lost "friends" over my decision to do this diet. Can you believe that? It's Food! It's what everyone gathers around for...deal with it! I'm not gonna go into detail about it...However, we all have em!
So...Here's a few good tips about closing them out...Because even though you want to say nasty things back but you are the bigger person (spiritually!!! LOL) and bit your lip and not say anything...Some times we carry a lot of hot air and eventually like a balloon we burst! And look redonk!
Ok...so you have haters at work/school...I know you do...because I do! That's the number 1 place you have them at! So...the oldest trick in the world...focus on your work. Smile Smile Smile. Say positive happy things. Just do it! They'll eventually have to back away. They might go down the hall or in another place where you can't hear em...but at least they're not ruining your awesome self!
Haters are threatened by others who follow their goals and dreams...because they want to also but don't know how to do it so by coping with it...they pick on you and test your ability in whatever it is your doing and they're rooting for you to fail. Even if these haters call you friends...it's better that you realize they hate on ya...because you don't want a friend that wants you to fail. That's awful! We should all be cheering on our fellow amigos to strive in life and make their dreams and goals a reality.
Ok...Number 2? Haha
Make friends with fellow smilers or dream searchers...they're everywhere! You just have to open up and find them. I bet you even have some in your work! They're hiding but you can find good ones! I did! :) Honestly, these are the people that you need because when your hater is bashing on you and you can't just put your hands over your hears and shout "BLAH BLAH BLAH I CANT HEAR YOU!" Those people are gonna be the ones to void negative nancys out of your mind and focus on the better you!
Number 3...
Focus on your work! Whether it's your job or school...you're there for a reason. You have to commit to at least 5-8 hours of it the majority of the week. Let those Haters fill time up in their day to worry about what you're doing...while you get work done! Ever notice how most of the time, the ones that are your fellow "HATERS" are the ones that always seem to snitch on someone? Steer clear of those clowns. They're not usually the funny clowns either.
Number 4...
It's kind of like sports/hobbies/activties whatever it is you enjoy..After all, it is a dream/goal you're chasing right? Find the top 5 things that are the greatest about whatever it is you're doing.
HCG
1. Instant gratification
2. Lifestyle change
3. Metabolism changes
4. Many options...Injections/Drops/Sprays
5. 26 days/40 days whatever you'd like
Focus on em. If they shut them down...then whatever. They were gonna shut down whatever came out of your mouth anyway but at least you covered the spread. Just sayin!
and the best one...
Number 5
Stick to whatever goal it is in your life and when you're at the finish line and have fans cheering for you...they'll see!
Show em up!
Hugs and Smiles and lots of dreams,
Cynthia xoxo

You can do anything in this whole big old world if you keep your mind on it and BELIEVE BELIEVE BELIEVE in yourself!

Happy LOVE DAY! No matter who you are...
Spreaddd the LOVE!
Valentine's are not just for the couples in the world. Nope. You can be...married, dating, fwb, swingers, hook ups (ok maybe not haaa) or just single.....whatever the case may be....EMBRACE it. Own who you are and love all those around you.
I've been single for a few years now and Valentine's day is still one of my favorite holidays. I love all holidays but...moving on!
Don't be a downer just because a day on your calendar is reserved for a box of chocolates and red roses. Nope, you got friends? Tell em you love em. You got family? Send some hugs. Co-workers? Valentine day cards! I whipped out some old school Disney Princess cards for my co-workers...and they LOVED em!
It's not a "hallmark" holiday. It's about recognizing that Love is suppose to shared every day but sometimes we lose sight of that...and it's right there in front of our silly busy little faces...which is why February 14th is marked on your calendar to remind you to send a hug to someone that you love and adore.
Single peeps! So so important...
Don't have a valentine? All your friends taken? That's okay! Share the day with yourself! Draw a bath, read a good favorite book or magazine. Treat yourself to something delicious...I had a grapefruit! haha Call your grandmother or aunt or whoever and say...I LOVE YOU! Put lipstick on...do whatever it is that makes you feel the most loved by..the most important person ever! Yourself!
I love and feel so blessed to have every person in my life that I do. Each day is a gift and sometimes we do take that for granted. Let's not make it a habit. Always count your blessings. Always spread love around to all. Always smile to people...even strangers (that's my fav!) Make someone's day brighter. That's what makes your days less hectic and at the end of the day you will feel good about yourself.
Hugs, Love, and lipstick red kisses

Buddies make everything easier!
Try to team up with your fellow pals to help you with whatever weight loss goal. I have a bunch of HCG buddies. I've honestly met the majority of them through the internet! Twitter was a great app to have when I first started this diet. Hi Kris! She is my HCG inspiration! :)
Tonight, my mechanic came over to help one of my friends out. While we waited, she said that my living room was the perfect size for the two of us to work out in...and since we're not in top notch shape like we once were...We we're like ahhhh perfect! We can p90x it here or insanity or ZUMBA ZUMBA! Hah! And...best part...no gym fees! I'm such a cheapie. I'll try to avoid paying for any kind of extra silly fees. :)
So...grab a friend and do the zumba!
Plus...just when you are about to give up...you got a friend that's going to remind you what you signed up for on day 1!
P.S I'm such a hardass when it comes to this!
If you want pizza, I will pretend something not attractive is on your pizza and try to sell it to you. Yep!
:D
Okay, loves and hugs!

Whatever makes you feel pretty :)
This morning I was so bummed when I didn't get to wake up early and get cute...even though it's just for work and no one would notice...I would!
I got a haircut a few weeks back and I have yet to curl my brand new layers! I had a craving to do it last night but it was too late...about this time actually! Haha and so today after work I went all out...
as I type this out...It's 12:47am I have velcro curlers in my hair...a bleach whitening tray in my mouth and acne medication mask on my well..blemishes. Haha I want to feel cute. I don't mind if no one thinks so...what's important is HOW YOU FEEL!
Do whatever it is to make you feel that extra ounce of special. Curl your hair or wear that hairbow headband, favorite necklace, eye shadow, whatever it is....do it! You get 24 hours every day...make them pretty!
Lots of hugs and love to you all!
XOXO

Skeptical about trying HCG? or any weight loss program? READ AWAY PLEASE!!!
Hi Guys! It's been a while so I figured I would update real quick on how I'm doing!
It's day 21 and so far I have lost a total of 21.79 lbs!!!! I got on the scale today and I haven't weighed that much in a very long time. I know that's kinda weird cause it's only 20 something lbs but over the past few years...the numbers increased...not decreased...and we are turning back time...on the scale!
If you guys went to super bowl parties this weekend and didn't cheat...I praise you! It's so incredibly tough to see all your friends eating yummy chicken wings and greasy pizza only to feel obligation and indulge. It's also kinda...ballsy. Is that how you spell the word? haha It takes a lot of self pride. It happened to me this weekend. And I had a bbq and a super bowl party....temptation was all over the place this weekend!
Homie: Cynthia, have a slice!
Me: I'm good thanks!
Homie: C'mon! Skip dinner and have a slice!
Me: No really...I'm actually not hungry (I was! LOL)
This went on for a few minutes and other people tuned in and told me to have a slice. I wanted the slice of pizze so badly! I didn't though. Lately, with yummy fatty foods I have replaced them with things that sound awful...like with the cupcakes that were at the office last week...I told myself over and over again that a really annoying co-worker peed on the cupcakes....and suddenly that craving went away! On the other hand, with the pizza I just pictured my arteries clogging up and me dying a very painful death. Haha That may be the best thing thats ever happened...because I no longer want pizza...not even when I'm off the diet...and hello I am italian! That's just crazy!
But anyway...The thing that is the most motivating in terms of cravings and temptations is seeing that number decrease every morning! Weigh yourself daily or weekly to keep you motivated! I reccommend daily...sometimes the number is the same but it keeps you going because very rarely does the number increase. (Hey I said rarely) so...Weigh yourself! When you see the numbers that will keep ya going...and then when you can feel clothes get loose...that's an even bigger step to keep on going. I noticed both this weekend!
It's such a great feeling! Self motivation! And better than any self help book! Seriously...It makes you happy for the rest of the day!
Hugs and Love,
Cynthia
