Disappointment is setting in!

I am sorry to report that I am right up where I started! I am very disappointed, because I really believed that this was the "cure" for my yo-yo-ing! It's not. After I came back from my business trip, I left for vacation back home in Italy. I finished my 1st round of VLCD, I went through the Phase 3, no sugars no starches, so on my vacation I reintroduced slowly both sugars and starches. Unfortunatelly I did not have a scale with me, so when I got back I was exactly where I started a few months ago. At this point I do not know what to think...do I have to stay forever on Phase 3? This is not sustainable long term. The idea was to re-set the hypothalamus and live normally and happy forever after. Or at least a few years until the needle starts going up again. It did not work for me. I lost 11 lbs in the 1st round, and I gained back 16 lbs !!
You'll say, well, it was your fault and yes, I recognize that I ate too many pastries and too many good things. But that's how it is when you are on vacation, and mine was a long one.
Anyway, I want to give it another try. I just started anouther round of HCG (since Tammy was very nice and sent me another vial back in July). I am on day 4, 156.8 lbs today and I am starting my VLCD. This time I will stay on as long as I need to get back if not at my ideal weight, at least to 140 lbs. Will keep posting. Tx for reading. If you have any helpful suggestions, pls respond. Valeria
