Jim and I decided to go on the HCG diet. We went 2 1/2 weeks eating only 500 calories per day!Then we added things back to our diet gradually for three weeks, saving starches and sugars for the last day. Today I got to have sugar, cereal, and bread again!
These are the things I missed most: 
I could have strawberries, but they are so much better with chocolate!
Awe, heavenly chocolate chip cookies. Now I will try eating just 1 or 2, instead of 6. :)
In the Word of Wisdom, it says that grains are the "Staff if Life". I agree.
I think the difference is, that from now on I will try to make sure I am eating healthy grains.
I think pretty much every Sunday of my entire life, I have had mashed potatoes and gravy at my parents home. We have still gone over to my parents for dinner these last few weeks, and I watched everyone eat my beloved potatoes and gravy, but stayed strong!
The things I learned:
How much junk we ate before!
There is sugar, fat, and high fructose corn syrup in EVERYTHING!
I can make a good/YUMMY meal that is healthy.
I don't need to eat everything that looks or sounds good.
It is OK to say, "no thank you", and people don't look at you weird.
I can feel proud of myself when I am showing self control.
I only need to eat a small amount of food to feel full and satisfied.
Drinking more water is possible and good.
Calories can add up fast, but if I eat more fruits and veggies, I can eat more and feel better.
My waist line CAN BE SMALLER!!!!!
P.S. My Husband is HOT!!!

Good for you for sticking with it and LEARNING important things about your relationship with food! P.S. You're hot too!
I don't know if I could go that long without all those good things, but I am learning how much junk is in processed foods. I'm trying to get my family to eat healthier. I find that food storage goes hand and hand with healthy whole grains and no corn syrup. Just started canning my own food so we can have a healthy alternative when produce isn't as readily available as it is now. Good for you, Brooke. Good luck. We miss you so much.
I did that diet and you're right I was surprised at how much sugar is in everything. I had no idea until I did my first round. I have a cookbook (HCG)on email if you would like to have it. I still make the recipes for my family since the hubster loves them. let me know.
