Illness and HCG

VLCD day 11

This is the first time I've been really sick while on the hcg program....I'm talking can't stand to cook more than my bacon/egg breakfast. Sinus congestion/chest congestion, it's plagued me my entire life. Well yesterday I ate that breakfast twice, I couldn't do more standing than that. I got in all my water. But later the ice cream craving kicked in and I was oh so dizzy!! I ended up eating a light multi-grain english muffin with some nutella spread and sliced strawberries. Then later Lou went to Q'doba and got food: small cup of tortilla soup (minus tortilla strips) and small steak quesadilla. I only ate half of both. I felt better and also I wanted some leftover in case today I couldn't stand...then I'd have something to reheat. I was really dreading the scale this morning. My first weigh said I was up 1 lb. DANG!! Back over the flippin' border:(  I weighed 2 more times (how many of YOU do this!!) and it said NO GAIN. Ok 2 times won. I stayed the same.
I didn't get up till after 10 this morning.....still pretty dizzy. Probably one more day home. I can't even shower (TMI I know....just telling you how bad it is) and without Lou here in case I fall, it'll probably be tonight. And I was so HUNGRY!!! Instead of going all crazy with food....I doubled up the bacon/egg breakfast.  Just seems like the smartest choice to make, and sometimes that's what we have to do. Do what we think is best.
I may not/probably won't make my goal of losing the last 3 pounds to get back where I was before I went astray but if I can stay below the dreaded border I will be perfectly happy.
