Hello everyone,
I'm having a really hard time on Phase 2. I thought Phase 1 was hard, but it was easy compared to this. My problem? I can't do bread/fruit/drinks in moderation. When I'm at home by myself, I'm fine -- I can control what I eat because I'm only buying SBD foods for myself. But I'm a very social person and I'm out all the time with friends. And most social events involve food. And since I've started Phase 2 -- where so many things I love are no longer off limits -- I can't stop eating.
It's making me really upset because I was so happy to lose 7 pounds on Phase 1. I hadn't lost 7 pounds before, ever! And I still want to lose about 15 more. But instead, I'm returning to my old eating habits because I can't do the whole "moderation" thing. I'm scared of gaining the weight back, after working so hard to stay on Phase 1.
Has anyone else had this problem with Phase 2? I don't want to try to stay on Phase 1 indefinitely because that doesn't seem healthy. But I can't have "just one slice" of bread or "just one piece" of fruit or "just one glass" of wine now that I can have all of that stuff again.
I'm so frustrated!
