Back again after a year

I had been doing very well on SB. Lost 10 lbs. and kept it off a year. As of late, I've been backsliding. My daughter had emergency surgery, everyone in the family got the flu....just a lot of craziness this winter. I've gained a few pounds back and have generally lost my focus! I am going to "reset" with phase one for at least a week, maybe two. I do love eating the SB way, and I feel pretty cruddy right now after my slide.

So, add me to the group of folks starting on March 19th! For those starting for the very first time......best wishes, and I know you will enjoy this way of eating.

Well, almost a year! In a few weeks anyway. This is the first time I've felt the need to "reset" my diet. I got a bit out of control with the sugar, and I really did feel pretty yucky and sluggish. It is a lot easier to do phase one a second time. It's a non-event! Not a big adjustment like it was last March.

I started eating this way because I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome last year, and SB has helped HUGELY. For the first time in my life, I've had regular periods each month (I used to have just 2 or 3 in an entire year). Not that I need or want them now (I have my 4 kids and I'm quite finished!), but it's nice to know my body is finally working as it should. Besides that, I used to have chronic constipation troubles, but those left when I started eating this way, too. NO way am I leaving SB for good, ever.

Probably more info than anyone wanted....but it's amazing how well SB has worked for my system.
