There is more than one way to skin a cat. My point is - perhaps the South Beach diet is not for you. Calories matter - exactly what you eat is far, far less important.
Maybe you should try counting calories. Perhaps the freedom to eat what you want so long as it falls within your daily calorie goals would suit you better.
Having said that - a week is not a long time to diet. Obviously you know your motivation is lacking or you wouldn't be asking where to find it. If you're not super motivated perhaps instead of going on a diet you should simply try to change one habit at a time. For example - eliminate all beverages that contain a lot of calories. No soda, no juice. I don't know what your habits are but the combined sum of them got you where you are.
