HCG Didn't work for me

Ok so I'm over it.  I followed this diet to a T even all weekend except I had 6 Skittles on Sunday and I swear I counted them.  I got on the scale and it said I gained 5 pounds over night.  I read on the message boards that even though you're only consuming 500 calories that if you cheat even just a little the HCG diet is unforgiving.  So that being said I'm going back to my old diet where I weighed 115 pounds by eating and drinking whatever I wanted as long as it was in small portions and I ran at least three times a week.  Seems healthier than HCG.  What a waste of $67.00 for the drops.  Don't get me wrong, there have been three people from my work that have had great success.  I just love food way to much and would rather be able to eat small portions of the things I love and still lose weight.  Eating one skim string cheese shouldn't have also caused me weight to jump earlier in the week.
