Ok I am starting all over again. I officially started on Monday but this weekend was out of control. I was so excited when I started. I even lost about 5 pounds in the first couple days...but now I am scared to even step on the scale. One too many Easter peeps for me! I am so not good at this dieting thing. I am going to the store tonight and going to prepare everything to officially start again tomorrow. I am afraid that my body "knows the trick" now and I wont loose weightlike i did before! Does this make sense? There are so many people in the chat room that the diet has to work. I guess I am just afraid that it wont work for me.....or that I will just keep messing it up. Did anyone else have problems getting started?

I had a hard time getting started & sticking w./ it. You are definately not alone in that aspect.

I bet you didn't gain all of the weight lost back, did you?

This WOE does work and you proved it to yourself last week when you lost 5 lbs. Congratulations on that.

You will continue to lose weight as long as you are on Phase 1. Just hop back on Phase 1. I was on Phase 1 for 4 weeks and was bad every weekend and continued to lose weight the entire time (except for when I was cheating). I would not suggest doing that. It kept me on Phase 1 for longer than I wanted.

Does this help?

A weekend filled with Marshmellow peeps is too much to ask for a SBD Phase One-r! I found the natural SBD willpower didn't kick in until the end of week two. So the only thing to do is to remove all non-SBD foods from your sight. Just as you're doing, replace it with lots of choices of Phase One foods. Had the peeps raised their little glistening heads at you while in Phase Two with a few good SBD weeks behind you, you would have easily ignored their cute little faces!

You are not alone... it's hard to detox yourself ESPECIALLY in the midst of one the year's biggest chocolate & candy frenzie.

Glad to know that I am not the only person supporting the PEEPS company!! I only ate 3 of them this year. Everyone I know thinks it's funny that I love them so much!! One year, BIL bought me an entire case of them -- I ate 75 PEEPS that spring!! Ahh, those were the days... LOL
