Nervous about phase 4
 

I have been doing FSD since Aug.1 and have lost. 20 pounds. I am getting ready to go into the final phase and I'm very nervous about it. The hardest part I think in getting the workouts in. Not sure if I can handle the freedom of phase 4 yet. Might try phase 2 for a week to work my self up. ( have not been able to go back to phase 1 yet)

I hear ya!

I'm very reluctant to be in Phase III. It seems like it's opening the floodgates to bad behavior and sugary foods. Plus my weight loss has slowed from 2-3 lbs per week to only 1.

But I think that's the "good" part of the plan -- it's a lifestyle change. I can't go the rest of my life avoiding cookies and carbs so it's best to learn self-control. :yes:

I think I'll stick to my Phase II/III combo with one day of Phase I every week.

By the way, GREAT progress!!! :cb:

It has taught me some self control. But it is so easy to slip back into the bad habits. This last week before P4 seems like it's taking forever. Knowing that I can have a Latte in 3 days is killing me. I also can't wait to have pizza guilt free. I keep trying to do P1 once a week since I started P3,but have done it once. Good for you for being able to stick to P1.

Well just my few cents to add in. I think as you transition into phase 4 you have to be aware of the freedoms that you have and allow yourself small ones, but just don't go overboard. For me I've found that if I have to much that I shouldn't, then I'll just go back to Phase 1 for a week and then pick back up where I left off.

Thanks for the advice. I think that's what I'm going to do next week. It's been a rough week. Congrats on all the weight loss. I also have to step up my workout. That is the hardest part of all this.
