Hi all! I've been lurking for a few weeks, finally joined and wanted to say hello.

I've been on SB since July 28, 2008.

I was doing really well until October 2. Up until then I had a flawless Phase 1, and only a few days off-plan on Phase 2. I was down to 137.5. Then, I indulged my sweet tooth which blossomed into 9 days in October REALLY off plan. I was 141.5 this AM (with PMS). I'm thankful it's not more.

At the beginning of my "slip" I didn't really think the sugar cravings had returned. I was wrong! I am now convinced that the crazy sugar cravings I started having had both a physical and a psychological component. I have been daydreaming about cake!

Phase 1 (the first time) really helped me: get the physical cravings under control, get comfortable with the sense that I was getting all of the good food I NEEDED, and, therefore, get the psychological cravings under control.

Therefore, I restarted Phase 1 on October 18, which makes this my 4th day.

This forum has REALLY helped, so thanks for the inspiration!

Haena, you're doing great! Slip ups are understandable, and figuring out what caused them is exactly what you need to do in order to get back on track!

Looking forward to getting to know you better--hope you'll post in the daily thread!

Wow! Thanks for all the welcomes!

I was posting on another SB board, but this one seems a lot more active. I can use all the help I can get!

Hope everyone has a great day!
