HCG Diet - Lack of motivation, how to overcome?

 Ok, I can officially say that I lost track on which VLCD day I am right now, mostly because I did not follow the protocol very well lately so I didn't count as strict diet days few of them in the past week. I have a rough estimation around 50 injections, still struggling on being POP really, I'm not sure when I'll shift my mind on being diligent on this diet, I hope soon or I'll fall again in my anxiety-depression state.
It's been few days now that I'm eating these delicious soups that I make myself with vegetables but also adding Parmiggiano Reggiano and a big spoon of sour cream. What damages my diet though are the candies, chewing gum and cream in my coffees, those things are bad for me as well as the yogurt or cottage cheese that I eat with so much cocoa powder here and there. I know exactly that I cannot buy – for any reason – these types of cheese and I still do it, I keep on fooling myself, trying to be disciplined, complaining about my poor willpower, my terrible diet results, I'm tired of not seeing improvements on the scale, I'm tired on being still in the 60-ies Kg, I need help, I need stronger motivations….but I really don't know where to find it. Today I was thinking on posting an AD in my building, on the bulletin board, to see if I can find a Weight Loss Buddy to share same goals and to be accountable to…not sure if anyone will ever reply but I think is not a bad idea overall.

HCG Diet - VLCD #14 - My Detox Bath good results

Today is a good day for my HCG Journey; I lost 600gr since yesterday morning (which in pounds would be around 1.3lb I believe).  I had my Detox bath yesterday, who know if it might helped the weight loss but, in any case, I'm grateful for that. I don't like seeing the scale not reporting any change….I will think differently during maintenance I guess.
This morning for some reason my mood is very good, I'm sure HCG have some sort of effect on that, I clearly noticed a huge difference when I started using it, I was always sad and down previously, sure my weight would make me unhappy too sometimes but I'm still more less the same, it's been only 14 days anyway.
I forgot to pack my grissino this morning, at the begin I thought I'd not have it, since I sadly switched to having an apple for breakfast, I figured it might increase too much my daily carb amount, that's ok I guess I may have at home or a couple of celery pieces instead. I forgot that too!
I've to admit, this morning I had a strong desire to add some organic cocoa powder on my apple, and then I changed mind, thinking about Dr. Simeons and how easy could be to get off the wagon when dieting, I'm hungry a bit now though, which usually doesn't happen in this way, again it might be my ovulation….women we have it all!
This is my VLCD #14 and I am still full of energy, no dizzy, no weak at all with this 500 Calories Diet, I still can't believe it. You would understand me only when you first tested what's being on starvation mode and feeling incapable to do anything, even walking was a challenge for me with Dr. Bernstein Diet, I felt fainting many times! What crazy Diet, if I look back I think I wasted so much money for nothing, quite the opposite actually, I had only negative results from it: my anxiety for famine, my binge eating disorder, my thin hair, my depression, my over re-gain weight, my period missed for months. Oh well, we live & learn I guess.
