Scale Goes Down, Down, Down

I love getting up in the morning and seeing the scales' number lower than the day before! How addicting! Last night I felt like I couldn't wait to go to sleep so I could get up and weigh myself, hehe. I'm down 5 lbs from the highest weight I got to on my gorging days. The only downside of this diet (besides being on a diet in the first place) is the bruising. Every time I'm giving myself a shot, I'm getting a bruise. (I am injecting SQ around my belly button.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It's not that big of a deal, and mostly don't notice them, unless I wear jeans, then it's an ouch!
I am visualizing so often during the day. I realize that the way that I 'am' is a result of the past, but the way that I 'am becoming' is a result of NOW and I am choosing to make healthy choices for myself now. I feel good and am still excited about this protocol. Am going to start trying out new recipes soon, I think, so I keep back the boredom.
How sad is it to finally get into an orange and have it be all dried out...2 days in a row this has happened to me! It's more of a bummer since I got organic ones at Whole Foods. I entertain myself by imagining that person who takes an open fruit back to the store. "This orange is dried out."
"Oh? I'm sorry. Did you ask for help picking them?"
"Um, no...I picked them out myself."
"Well, you must really suck at it, because we haven't gotten any other complaints. Would you like me to help you pick out oranges that are better?"
I imagine how embarrassing that would be...and yet, sometime I'd like to take one back and see what is actually said. It's never worth the bother to return stuff, though. I think stores bank on that attitude, and yet.../shrug
More about moving...We have designed a home we want to build. We looked at numerous house designs, and combined a couple that we really liked. We are worried about the market, however. America looks like it's poised for another really bad recession, though I believe there is enough abundance in this world for everyone, if we just believe it and are open to finding it. Will tell you more when I know more. Tootles! :)

Try injecting yourself about 2 or 3 inches out from your belly button. Seems to work really well for me. No bruising at all, just a slight sting sometimes. Good Luck!

Vonda,

Congratulations on the great results! I wish I could help you with the Subcutaneous injection question, but I'm doing intramuscular in my thighs. I do occasionally get bruises, but not often. Hopefully someone else can give you some helpful suggestions. Great job so far!
