Anyone else scared of II & III?

I did great on phase I... and eased into phase II quite nicely (still continued to lose)... but now I am starting to become more leinant with myself.. it's scaring me. I see my tummy puffing out a bit more too, though that could be from all the pumpkin seeds I've consumed in the last 3 days (don't think they digest too quickly)...
I think I need to go back to phase I for a few days just to make myself stop wanting to snack on something. Or... just be sure to eat something before 10:30am? (I am no longer hungry first thing in the morning... or decide to wait until AFTER I exercise to eat breakfast).
Is anyone else going through this "not knowing if I'm messing up" feeling?

I have lost 12 lbs. so far. I am in Phase 2, but eating mostly P1 foods because I am afraid to add carbs. I have only added oatmeal, 9 grain bread, very little milk. I have only lost 2 lbs. so far on P2, but since I don't have a lot to lose overall, I am not too concerned. I would like to add more carbs, but the carbs I want are the bad ones. I am afraid of messing up at this point. I am finding that I am starting to crave things I shouldn't eat - oreos, donuts, etc. I haven't caved in yet, but I don't like that I am feeling less satisfied after meals. I feel a little bloated (I think its constipation), so I am going to try SF metamucil as suggested to increase the GI of a meal. How are you being more lenient with yourself - eating 'illegal' foods?

I know what my problem is with everything. Time change and stress management (or lack there of in this case). I just need to relax and eat on time. For me, living a life of Phase 1 would be too difficult, and I wouldn't have enough energy to work out. Don't be afraid at all. You're doing just fine.

I just posted a question in the recipe section that I think you can answer... The pancake recipe in the book calls for oatmeal --- do you cook it first, or use it uncooked??
Thanks!

I am going to try them today! I am starving, and I need something sweet!

I only lost 5 lbs. on Phase I, but I cheated and had a bowl of ice cream every day, and a cup of hot chocolate every morning. I did, however, lose inches across the mid section, so I am satisfied with my results.
If you are constipated, perhaps you are not eating enough veggies? If you like apple juice, it is a natural way to move things along. Even a little glass will help regulate your system.
If you are being hit with "cravings," it indicates you have eaten food with hidden sugars in it. I'd go investigate what you've eaten that has "set you off."
