I thought a yo-yo was a toy!

Ok, I remember looking in my stocking(fake stocking) on xmas morning and getting all these fun but wierd toys. But besides the coloring books and mad libs, the jack set, the chinese jumprope and the yo-yo was my favorite. I would spend all day playing with the yo-yo by trying to "walk the dog" or "around the world" moves. As much as I tried, I never perfected the game of yo-yo. Well that is how I feel about my body. For as long as I can remember, uhm, senior year in high school, I have struggled with my weight. I would like to say its because of some disease or medication that I was on, but it's not. It was because my body was introduced to something called SUGAR! I love sweets. Not all candy, but sweet rolls, Ding Dongs, cakes, pies, sopapillas and oh my gosh my favorite -BROWNIES! SO this has been a looooonnnnggg battle for me. I get really content with myself and think I am invincible with food. So on that note, my other weakness is grease! I loved anything fried. Why couldn't I eat it? I always ate that stuff and never gained a pound. Then age started to sink in and my metabolism hit the high road! I lived the last 11 years this way. Just like my fun toy from christmas, I was a human yo-yo...up and down, and up and down. I never perfected my weight and I knew something had to be done. Anyway, starting HcG, we are not by any means allowed to have sugar. We can't have stuff that pretends to be sugar. I had to train myself that sugar doesn't exist anymore and there was no way that I could ever find it....ANYWHERE! The same thing goes for fat. I am so glad to have done this diet because I wouldn't be where I am if I didn't have the "mind over matter" potion! Needless to say, I am still dealing with the yo-yo game....although I have not gained all the weight I lost (because I have managed to keep 23lbs of it off), I really have to work hard to maintain where I am now and where I want to be - and that is HIGH SCHOOL SKINNY! :)
