I am not good at Phase 3
Well, it's been a really high-stress week for me and some old eating patterns are back that I thought had been eradicated in my last round of HCG. I am hovering at 5lbs over my LIW and no steak day (have tried 2) seems to do the trick. My instinct (as ever) is to rationalize that I lost too fast and nothing but another round of HCG will get rid of those 5 lbs. I start again on the 4th of June, so I am going to try to remain circumspect and not let it get to me too much. I will still be down to 200 by the end of the summer, that's for sure! I am enjoying being back in the gym, taking water aerobics and pilates classes, I'll make the most of those in these next two weeks. Now if I can just keep the emotional eating at bay and make myself understand that it is NOT going to help me get through my big performance/exam on the 28th, I'll be all set.

Helen,
I'm right there with you about not feeling like I'm "good" at Phase 3. One word of advice here: be really, really careful about loading when you go back to Phase 2. I threw caution to the wind and ate everything that I wanted, and paid for it by taking over a week to get it back off.
Can you try the EFT/Calahan techniques where you do the tapping when you feel the emotional urge to eat? You're doing great - hang in there!
That's a great idea. I'd forgotten about the EFT techniques--truth be told, I haven't even read about them because the phase 2 is so easy for me. Will get on that ASAP! Thank you!!
