I've been kinda missing from the boards lately. The carb addict in me had taken over and I was really struggling to get control again.
I wish I could be one of those persons who goes on a diet and just sticks with it until all of the excess weight is gone. But I'm just not.

I'm sorry that you are having trouble staying on your plan.
I used to be like that also. It wasn't until I started my journey this time, did I begin to see it was my view of it as a diet and not a way of eating for life, that helped me to stick and stop white knuckling it...if you know what I mean.

All I can say is, ditto. Sticking to a diet just long enough to lose those 10, 20, 30lbs we want to shed doesn't work for permenant weight loss. All we can hope to gain by that are those 30lbs plus 15 more(!) when we return to our old eating habits. Only by making our new way of eating the rule, not the exception, can we hope to be counted among the successful.

It's a difficult road, but not impossible.

Thanks Renee!!

One thing that I can share with you is that eating foods you love while on plan, is a very good way to make this a permanent change.

So, ask yourself, who do you really love to eat and find a way to make it so that it fits the plan.
I've tried some new foods to me along the way too...that has made my list of acceptable foods longer than it was.

Hello everyone!

I started South Beach two weeks ago and began Phase Two today after losing 10 lbs on P1. I'm feeling fantastic and apparently my face is thinner which is great to hear. I have some really fantastic support as my husband is doing SB with me (he lost 8 lbs) despite not really understanding how the diet works. He's a bit of a Weight Watchers devotee, but even he admits that he would have been eating lots of unhealthy stuff if he was on WW, whereas he's been totally healthy on SB.
