Hello:

I am just getting the hcg from a lab--after paying more than your
suggested places 8~(. Next time, I will do it differently. However,
I am okay with it though maybe will wish I had done it differently
later. 8~)

I have been overweight since 1996 when I had my last child. As I've
gone through menopause, I found I gained more and more, and now I am
up well over 200#. I should weigh about 140.

I HATE the weight, and I have been so depressed with my weight, I have
felt like life was not worth living. I tried Atkins, but of course, I
couldn't stay on that kind of eating plan for more than 30-45 days.
Once I plateaued at 190 each time I tried it again, I couldn't get my
weight down past that, and I just started cheating on the diet. I
tried Weight Watchers, but that was worthless for me. Every time I
eat bread, I put on a pound, and they allow me to have some starch
(which seems to make me gain). I've tried starving, and of course,
that didn't work. I've considered Jenny Craig, but I get bad
headaches when I don't eat food, so I am scared of that diet.

Knowing you have more than 60 pounds and suggested a year to do it is
too discouraging and disheartening to stay with it. And I have been
scared out of my mind about looking like a bag when I'm done--i.e.
drooping skin, hanging from a bag of bones. People said, "Oh, you're
skin will adjust." Sure! When? After menopause? Okay...

When I saw this protocol, I thought it was the answer to my dreams.

Now I've ordered the hcg, and it is due Monday, and I'm scared to
death of injecting myself! Gosh, I'm sitting here in a cold sweat
thinking about it. I'm not sure I can do it, and NOBODY else can do
it for me either. I don't have anyone who would.

So how did you get past the self injecting?

And does it work, really work?

Thanks.

Kay
