Thanks all!

I classify myself as a heavy drinker (3-4 glasses of red wine/night, with 4+ on the weekends) and while it has not affected my career/success of family life, part of the reason for the hcg diet was not only dropping 30lbs, but kicking the habit for a month to 'detox'. I'd like to be in better control of my wine consumption and needed a reason: the diet provided the much needed framework. Also, I need to add a $1MM extra term life policy and dropping the weight, stabilizing blood sugar, and getting a better lipid panel will result in markedly better rates (I'll 'pay' for the diet in savings from two years of better life ins rates).

That said, I have several social engagements coming up (business travel) and have some planned 'cheats' coming up with full knowledge that it may slow down my weight loss. One cheat is in 1.5 weeks (looking forward to that) and one is around day 33.

By planning out the cheats I really do have something to look forward to.

It's already been a weird journey not drinking and the odd state of mind at times while on VLCD!

But at 7lbs down this morning I'm pretty damn pumped.
