I started SBD in February 05 and lost 50 pounds. I don't really know what happened, but I am back to square one. All the weight back and I feel terrible. When I say I feel terrible, I mean emotionally and physically.
I am excited to be back on the beach and I am determined to make this work. I think if I had to say what made me fail...
1. Limiting myself too much. I was really successful, but I didn't follow phase 2 with enough sensibility. Rather than incorporating healthy starches, I tried to not eat them at all and then I just fell off the wagon. Six months was just too much without properly balancing my healthy carbs.
2. I started short-cutting and not eating healthy proteins and fats.
3. I let stress dictate my eating. I am not sure why this was a problem, because I always enjoyed the foods on the beach...just got lazy and depressed.
I hope that you will all be supportive, because I remember really enjoying this forum and all your advice.
It is good to be back...love to all Sunny
Nice to see you back, Sunny! It sounds as if you have your head truly together this time. Let's go!
