So, I've finally decided to start P1 tomorrow. I read the SB book back in April, but I didn't start the plan because I figured moving, final exams, graduation, starting a new job, etc was a bad time to make a major lifestyle renovation -- well, maybe not a bad time, but a time I didn't think I could stick with anything that would make life more complicated. But here I am now, comfortably in my grad program.... ready to make a serious go at this weight loss thing. I've done WW and tried calorie counting, but I get stuck in binge cycles... triggered by carbs... Or I end up eating my 1500 calories of chocolate and feeling guilty/not eating for the rest of the day. So I need to take control -- be smart and simply remove my triggers. Which SB will help me do.
As soon as I finish this post I'm off to the grocery store. I've been stalling going grocery shopping to make sure I have as little as possible in the cupboards when I start P1. I've been sifting through all the fabulous info on these boards about recipes and updated foods lists and all sorts of stuff. (Ruth -- you keep your little domain SO organized!) I've made myself a list..... checked it twice.... and have nothing non-P1 on it! I start first thing in the morning -- I'm starting on the weekend so that if I feel crappy the first few days of "withdrawl" I can curl up on the couch and read and not interact with anyone
Okay ladies (er, any gents around this part of the boards? I'm usually around the 20-somethings where men are scarce
).... Off to the grocery store! I hope to get to know y'all over the course of this journey.... See you tomorrow, on the Beach!

Keep it up and think about adding some veggies to your snacks, too. Keeps you full longer! Eating good carbs like tomatoes, bell peppers, and beans (like the roasted chick peas) will help ease any pain from P1 (headaches, tiredness, etc.).
