South Beach Diet - Back on Phase 1 again

I gained 12lbs in two weeks. I mostly gained it back because I fell for cravings during the holiday season. I ate to my hearts desire. I then got a headache last Friday and it brought me back to reality. I remember hurting from migraines and HBP...I don't want that. I haven't had bad headaches since I started SBD in the beginning (July 2008). Why would I go back to that? So, to nip this in the butt I'm starting over P1 and in that I will drop 10lbs out of this detox and then I'll have 12 more lbs to go to reach my original goal. Setback? Yep, major. Try again and stick to it? Aye, most definitely.

Support and hugs needed.

Thanks!

I'm with you sass, I've gained some back too, but it's just a speed bump and we know what to do. I'm not sure how much because I'm afraid to look. I'll do an official weigh-in on Saturday. Maybe I can undo some of the damage by then. I too used to have bad headaches and guess what? I spent most of the weekend nursing one. Also assorted body aches and lethargy I haven't felt in a while. I'm an idiot. Not sure when I'm doing Ph1 because the house is not yet empty of junk. The thought of it is nauseating though so I may be able to resist.

:dust: Welcome back Sass!!! :dust:

Count me in, Sass. I've been in the gym pretty hard and haven't gained so far, but the cravings are back. Hang in there!

I know what ya mean I'm back on phase 1 once again as well. We can do it.

Sass - I started back with phase 1 today too. I made a family announcement yesterday that any and all jumk food not consumed would be thrown out today. (OK, so I didn't really throw out everything... I took a huge zip lock and filled it with all the Christmas candy that wasn't eaten. I hid it in the bottom of the deep freeze for another time and place!)
But honestly the leftovers were eaten for dinner last night and anything left was actually tossed. I went to the grocery store, filled the fridge with yogurts, cottage cheese and veggies galore! I feel so much better just knowing that is what I have in the fridge. No, I didn't get up and go to the gym as I had planned this morning... but my eating is right on the money!
Don't sweat the road bump. We all need to brush ourselves off and get back to it! I'm with you!!

In any other case I would say, "at least I'm not alone". But I do wish I was alone and everyone was doing great in P2. Haha! Sounds weird right? Anyway, I am depressed. I finally know what it feels like. I was one who never thought I could be depressed or never really believed in it. I gained 12lbs in 2 weeks. I knew I was feeling down and it wasn't that I didn't care, but I just ate whatever I wanted and at the same time weighing myself every morning the same way as I do every morning. I watched the scale go up and up and up and up...

I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me because I don't feel sorry for myself because I know the rules and I've written it in the stone (my blog) and I've counseled others about it...but I fell. I suck! It's true. I suck really bad and I'm going to be determined to get through P1 like the first time I did it. In my book, it's already done so I hope all of you who started P1 today will get through it and never have to go back to it again.

I hate P1 with a passion, but it saves lives. :lol: Cheers!

I threw everything out Friday. And it hurt - my family has always been big on not wasting food. I knew if I left it in the house though, I'd eat it!

Sass - this is a journey. We aren't going to be perfect 100% of the time!! What's done is done, hopefully you'll learn from it and next time (or maybe there won't be a next time!), it won't get that out of control! There are others on the daily chat that I watched thru this holiday season. They talked about how they prepared for holiday parties, how they only had a few "nibbles" of sweets. Or how they saved their cheats for only the really good things... I want to get to that point! I know I did so much better this year than I have in years past, but I still have a long way to go. Don't beat yourself up. It is done. Time to move on, right??
By the way.... you have been a huge inspiration to me since I joined 3FC and started SB. So you fell, let us help you up.

Thanks a bunch! I'm not worried about these 12 extra pounds as I know how to get rid of them. I just need to work on getting happy again. I tried smiling more today. Ha! It's not working.

Uggghh depression sucks...for the last 2 months I gained back about 12 lbs due to depression but then the day before Xmas Eve I got some heart breaking news and i'm completely devistated. Christmas was ruined and I lost 9 lbs since Tuesday. I can't eat(or hold food down if i try to eat) or sleep, but I'm going to get through this if it kills me(and it did feel like it was going to.) This too shall pass.

:dust: and :hug: to you, Sass.

Are you sure all of your weight gain is from food? No medical conditions, TOM, ect?

I just looked at your progress photos and you look great!! You have a lot to be happy about with your weightloss (even with a 12lb set back). I can tell that you have worked hard. Hopefully P1 will turn you around and give your mood a lift.


JerseyGirrl - :hug: to you, too.

JerseryGirl - Hugs to you. I hope you are OK.

Keep up that positive attitude you got going there and you'll be alright. Try to force yourself to eat. I've been forcing down my food all day. Sadness is really annoying. I'll be hanging in there with you.

I just noticed that I don't live far from you. It must be the weather where we are.

TOM was on the 10th I think and ended on the 17th or 18th. I wrote in my blog that Aunt Flo hates me on the 17th. I always keep track of things like this, but I slipped up this month. Not worrying about too much of anything. And I noticed I gained the weight back very fast too. I don't think I have any health issues anymore. I got another headache now :( . Maybe it's stress or worry. Worry about what? I'm not too sure. Go see a shrink? No, because I don't want to pay the co-pay. :lol: That made me laugh. I made myself laugh. Funny.

Sass Weren't you doing Body for Life? If so, you also have to factor in that you can't focus on weight with that program- it is all about inches!

Yep, still doing Body For Life but I added in supersets to it to burn fat at the same time, but I stopped cross training. No cardio for two weeks. No energy.

Thanks for the hugs and support ladies. I'll be ok. I keep telling myself it can only go up from here. I'm giving myself a few more weeks. If I can't start feeling human again on my own maybe I'll go see a doctor and see if I should take something to help me through this.

Down 4lbs today. Ate clean yesterday, jogged for 43 mins and did upper body including abs for 60 mins. I feel good.

Hi Sass! :wave: Here's another moto-chick on Phase 1. I gained so much so quickly in about 2 months. I have got to, nay, I WILL get it off so I can be back to feeling good about myself. I'm here with you!

You, my IDOL, gained back some weight? I don't believe you. When did you start Phase 1?

Hey Sass! I see you hit the gym today!!! Good job, way to get back in the game!!!! And congrats on the four pound loss!

WE CAN DO THIS!!!

aw shucks!! :devil: I started yesterday :eek: because I didn't even want to 'waste' a few days until New Year's Day :D

and I'm excited because I found out that I like white beans :D they're pretty versetile because they don't have alot of flavor on their own, so I think they'll mix pretty well into anything.

Jolly Molly I LOVE white beans...black and red ones too. They are the only ones I'll eat frequently other than chick peas. I wish you luck through P1. I'm still truckin' nicely!
