Week one
11
Thu, 12-11-2003 - 10:45am
Hey there all!! I just wanted to say that I've been on the SBD for about a week now. I started and then wasn't all that good the first two days, so then I started again. It seems to be working!! I don't have a scale at home so I go by the way my clothes fit. I have all these great suits in my closet that I haven't worn because they just don't fit right. Anyways, I put on the skirt to one of them today and I can actually zip it up and wear it out!! I still need to loss a lot for it to look perfect and some of my other suits are a size or two smaller than this one but at least I got this one on!! (Plus it's only been a week)

I haven't been as good as I should be though on it. Probably have had too much peanut butter, peanuts, and red wine. I'm really bad at not eating breakfast during the work week and so hungry during the morning that by lunch time I'm all mad because I can't just go to wendy's and get something fast. (I've been so good about NO FAST FOOD!! So I head home and either heat up the chicken from last night or make a quick salad) I haven't been snacking at all, is this bad? I've never been a big snack person during the day but once I get home and at about 9/10 PM after dinner I get hungry again so I have been having a few peanuts (still in shell, takes more time to eat them) or celery and hummus that sort of snack. I LOVE cheese so there's always cheese in my eggs, I've been having omelets with salsa for dinner sometimes too.

I had a question though. I'm still hungry during most of the day, am I doing something wrong (besides not snacking) I just thought that the meals should fill me up to the next one. (I think there's something wrong when my bf, who is not on the diet, eats what I have for dinner, but then not hungry in the evenings when I start getting the munchies again)

Thank you for all your help!!!

OH BTW, I have also been taking a Fiber pill is this bad or good? I know I should take fish oil and multi vitamin and flax seed oil is always good but one step at a time right? hehe.

Again thank you for all your help.

-Kristina

Thank you for the suggestions.... yes I will definitly try and make things the night before so thatI can just stick it in the microwave here at work and keep going.

Thank you for all your support too. It's great to have this board and talk to others on the diet too.

I'll try to cut the wine out on phase one. I know it's not allowed but I had to have a glass or so here and there.

Thank you!

I'm at about the same point as you, Kristina, having started this way of eating last Saturday.

I know what you mean about the wine but remember it's only 2 weeks, you can do it!

Welcome Kristina,

I started on Monday and it feels like I've lost nothing. I think that we can all be super strict for the first 2 weeks, and maybe it'll just work. I too have a hard time with skipping breakfast, since I work until midnight I usually get up at 11 am and then its almost lunch. But I am going to start making my meals before I go to work to have them for the day.

Thank you for the support.

lol I laughed at the idea of drinking water out of the Wine glass..... hehe, yea maybe I'll do that. The bf will think I'm nuts but exactly once Christmas is really around I will be able to drink a glass of wine and it will taste that much better.

Dusty – Good luck hun! Yea I agree we should try and cheer each other on.

I’m going to cut the wine. This second week I'll be REALLY strict!

The "no alcohol" is a toughy for me, too, but I can do it for just 2 weeks.
