I went grocery shopping today for all phase 1 foods and I am feeling a lot better already. I’m ready to go back to phase 1 for two weeks. No eating fruit or starch or alcohol or sugar at all for two weeks. I can do that. I’m also not going to weigh myself for a little while. I don’t really have any desire to weigh myself which is a good thing because I tend to get obsessed.
I realize my cravings have definitely come back in full swing. I went to Trader Joes and all my favorite Christmas goodies were there. I worked there last Christmas so I know pretty much what everything taste like and ugh they have the best desserts at this time! It was hard to not want everything in sight. But I did go away with some chicken burgers, celery, babybel cheese, and some hummus which was good.
I’m going to eat more veggies, drink more water…and go to the gym tomorrow.
That’s the best part about low-carbing, once the sugar is out of your system the cravings do go away. Hang in there, be strong! It will be so worth it when you’re sliding into smaller clothes!

Hi. I started the sbd in november and also found your blog. I had a challenging holiday this year as opposed to last december when I lost over 10 pounds. I am trying to get back on track. We are all human and sometimes fall off the wagon. I just wanted you to know that you have been an inspiration to me and hope you are well. Please post again soon.
