I couldn't have gotten farther away from the south beach way of eating. I have been in a downhill spiral since August 20th when I cheated for my anniversary. I've been successful at a few days but then that's it. It's a lot harder with my husband around. It's like if he doesn't say NO then it's okay for me to eat whatever I want. I know that that's not how it should work and it's not up to him to tell me no.
I think the only way to get over this mountain is to start anew. I think I really need to start all over again with Phase 1 on Monday. I can't keep up this woe because the cravings are so intense. I've eaten more Halloween candy, icecream, and donuts then I ever have. Before I totally regain the whole 27 pounds I've lost I need to get myself in check. I guess I should have posted this in the struggles and support section however, this is the area where I receive all my support. Thanks sbd friends. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's felt this way or done this, I hope!
Well, I've been successful before and I know I can be again. I know I can do this. It's really important to me that I do.
Thanks for listening to my rambling.
Hugs,
Tricia

Tricia, I am so happy you
posted here for support. You are not alone, sweetie. I have struggled too and
have been gaining rather than losing. I know just what you're talking about.
My dh eats whatever and it's become so hard to be good around him. Last night
I had chocolate again even though I know it's going to set me back. I did not
buy any Halloween candy this year because I don't want the temptation.
We both (and I'm sure others
here who are struggling) want this...we just need to get back in touch with
those positive feelings where we realize that yes, we CAN do this, and we WILL
do this. I hate the feeling when my clothes don't fit. Let us take this one
step at a time. Please post here tomorrow when you're doing Phase 1 and we'll
help each other get through each day (or hour if need be!). Once we get through
the first few days it should get easier. Try to remember what an inspiration
you've been...and you've even gotten your parents to lose on SB thanks to you!!
:-)
The CLs here are a great inspiration
& resource also. I have joined the SB site for help with menus & grocery
lists. I am willing to try anything to get on track and stay there. So many
people have succeeded and I know we will too! I am going to join the health
club this week as I mentioned before. I think exercise is crucial in keeping
our metabolism at peak levels & for making us feel better in general. Please,
Tricia, e-mail me anytime for support. You are not alone in this. I want you
to be happy & succeed so very, very much! You ARE worth it!!!!
Hi Tricia,
We're all here for you.
Thank you Suzy! You captured all my feelings. I'm trying not to get down on myself. I'm jealous because my parents are doing so well and I've lost the momentum.
Thank you for the positive thoughts and the strength I need to get back on track again. I am going to start going to the gym at least 3 times a week if not more. But for sure I'll be going Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
I had chicken stir fry and some extra chicken breast for dinner. As long as I don't let myself get too hungry i should be okay.
I'll post here tomorrow morning and keep you posted on my successes.
Thanks again!
Tricia

Cathy, Thank you so much! I need to give myself more credit for the successes I've had so far. I remember how easy it was and I know it can be that way again.
I just need a good successful week and I will be back on track for the long haul again. Thanks for the support!
Love,
Tricia

Tricia I think I'm going to be joining you for a few days on P1.
I'm going back to Phase I until my weight is back to normal. I hope we can all support each other this week. One of my co-workers has already brought in the Halloween candy!
I am so happy to see all the support here!
The fact that you have lost 27 pounds is amazing. I know that sometimes it's difficult to get back on the program when you're not losing much weight or you've fallen off the wagon, but you have already proven that you can do it. Once you get a few days of P1 under your belt and those cravings start melting away, you'll feel so much better and regain your confidence. Just hang in there and focus on little steps--getting through a week of P1, then set another small goal. Soon you'll be back on track and dropping those pounds.
Thanks again to everyone for their support. It feels wonderful that I'm not alone in my struggle. I love this board and I love all of you guys for your support. I'm off to a great start this morning. I actually ate breakfast instead of just having coffee.
Cheers!
Tricia

Between depression, all the Halloween candy and all of the carbs I've consumed in the past month, I was about to quit altogether. Then, I read this thread and realized that just because I've lost a few battles doesn't mean I have to lose the war. My dad would want me to be healthy - and I've never felt better than in those weeks when I was eating the SB way. And eating junk just makes me more depressed instead of making me feel better.
So, thank you for sharing and telling me that a time of struggle doesn't have to equal failure. It's back to Phase I tomorrow so I can get rid of these cravings. And the left-over Halloween candy goes out with the trash!! Thangs again to all of you, I appreciate the support found on this board.
