Hello- I am approaching South Beach with hope that this will be a way for me to find balance with food. I am a recovered bulimic and have broken through the "all or nothing" mentality, but it's been a struggle. I hope SB will give me a healthy way to eat while also making me relax about my weight. I don't have much to lose- 7 lbs and I am nervous I won't lose much on this diet and then get back into my old restrictive/binge cycles. Is there anyone out there who has seen results when they didn't have a lot to lose? I am concerned I will be over analytical about portions....please advise.
Thanks so much-

Hi and welcome to our board!
The South Beach Diet is a great way to learn to eat healthy for life, so I think you've chosen the right plan! We are not so concerned about portion sizes here. We eat until we are satisfied while choosing
I hope south beach can become a healthy lifestyle for you. When I started 2 years ago I didn't have much to lose, I wanted to get rid of the weight i gained during college. I started when I weighed about 130 (I am 5'6") wound up losing a max of 29 pounds, which made me kind of under weight, i've gained a few pounds back since, but I've been slacking and am back to phase 1.
I am sure you can lose your 7 lbs if you stick to the plan
Although I'm not bulimic, I also have an all-or-noting mindset, and south beach helped me learn about moderation.
Good luck, I hope this works for you, it really has worked for me!!
