I've had a rough couple of days on the beach! On Friday night my DH bought some doughnuts, and I wanted one so bad I actually cried about it! I held strong though and resisted, but then last night I was so tired and felt so fed up that I ate a cheeseburger and fries :(
Crying over a doughnut DEFINITELY is not like me, and I have done so great other than my fast food meltdown...eat lots of veggies and lean protein and never feel hungry. I think I'm just realizing that it was a mistake to start the diet the same week I would be getting my period! I'm still very happy with my progress though, and am going to continue on an plan to finish P1 on time (a week from today). Like I said, I've been doing great otherwise, plus I didn't have that much I wanted to lose (just 10 pounds or so). Does this sound reasonable?
Thanks!
Casey

Casey,
This way of life isn't a hard core you can never eat that stuff again program. It allows for life's little mistakes. Just keep going as if the cheeseburger/fries incident never happened and finish P1 on time.
If it makes you feel any better I just restarted P1 after being off the beach for over 2 years. On day 7 I was going to stop at Quizno's on my way home from work and get a salad. Got there 5 minutes after the closed and I was starving so I stopped at the only other thing on my way home. Needless to say I pigged out on a double quarter pounder with cheese and medium fries (and paid for with an upset stomach, lol). So don't beat yourself up over it, just move on and try not to let it happen again for quite some time.
Happy Easter!
When I did phase 1 I had my meltdown on day 11, sitting in the grocery store parking lot after work. I cried because it was Friday night, I was tired, I didn't want to cook and I just wanted to get Taco Bell.
A few days later, something just clicked and it was all OK. I realized that there was nothing that I would "never" have again. I just had to realize that I couldn't have fast food every week. Once I was in Phase 2, instead of Taco Bell on Friday night, we went to a local taco shop where I could get a huge taco salad with black beans and chicken (I just didn't eat the shell). Saturday night was my one night to eat what I wanted and that was almost always pizza.
In the end, I lost over 30 pounds and have been at my goal weight for almost 3 years.
Best of luck!
Lisa.
