I am the queen of reboots. I have been in maintenance for 26 months. I have to reboot every 3-4 months for about a month. I do phase 1. I have tried phase 3...it is much slower and I give up. Phase 1 gets the job done quick.
I am currently on a reboot. I have declared...April, September, and January my reboot months.
January because it is after the holidays, April because it is after my February cruise (take every year) and my April school break filled with dinners out and then September because of summer relaxing. So far 26 months of it working. I lost 75 pounds and I am up about 11 right now.
Good luck...it is a battle, but if you give in to the "foreverness" of it all it makes it easier.
