As you know from following along on my blog, I started the Hcg diet about a month ago. I have a confession: I didn’t finish it.
It wasn’t the products that made me quit or a lock of motivation, but rather a turn of circumstances. I have had more stress thrown at me this month than I could handle and I did what I typically do. I ate. I used food for comfort. I stopped caring.
This was hugely disappointing to me, because I did lose some weight in the first 2 weeks. I lost 5.2 lbs in the first week and 5.7 lbs the second week. This was a total of nearly 11 lbs lost in two weeks. I was doing well, and I was so happy I was losing. I started out at a weight of 243.8 lbs and went down to 232.9 lbs. I then shamefully jumped back into my old ways and gained back all the way up to 239.3.
I wanna say, I didn’t intend for this to happen. and I don’t intend on giving up on it, entirely. I just think I need a break in order to get my affairs in order before starting over again.
The diet taught me a couple things and I didn’t completely bomb it and stop eating better. I learned that I can “survive” and not snack constantly and actually have changed that about myself. I no longer feel the need to constantly have food near me. I have also learned that I can feel full off a smaller amount of food. I plan to use this knowledge to get a better grip on my eating habits for my long-term future.
You may be wondering how I was able to keep such close track of my weight loss down to the ounce. I was using the EatSmart Precision Premium Digital Bathroom Scale. I have done a review for EatSmart in the past with their food scale and I absolutely adore this company. They make some very nice products for not only weight loss, but healthier lifestyles as well and they are high quality. The EatSmart Precision Premium Digital Bathroom Scale was no exception.
The Scale features a very slim design and “step on” technology. This means, unlike many digital scales, you don’t have to tap the scale to get it going, you can just step on it as you would with a traditional scale.
Pros:
I loved the sleek look and step on technology. I love that it calculates not only lbs, but also ounces (as well as Kg). This scale is very high quality as I have come to expect from EatSmart.
Cons:
The Scale features a shut off to conserve energy. While this sounds like a great feature, in practice it can get kind of annoying because it shuts off rather quickly. I also wish it had a weight loss tracking mode so I could see progress.
Verdict:
The EatSmart Precision Premium Digital Bathroom scale is perfect for just about anyone seeking a high quality scale that is basic in function and digital.
To purchase:
Check out the EatSmart Website to purchase the EatSmart Precision Premium Digital Bathroom Scale for the current price of $32.95 (on sale from $59.95!).
