I was recently in your position! I started the SB diet two months ago, and so far it's gone pretty well (I've lost 23 pounds so far). Making the transition to phase two was challenging for me, too - I was very afraid that I'd lose control and go carb crazy after not eating them for two weeks. One thing that I saw recommended on the boards here that was really helpful to me was the idea of slowly reintroducing carby foods. I went through a period of something like phase 1.5, where I picked one thing that I wanted to reintroduce (apples). I continued to eat the same stuff I did on phase one, with the exception of an apple replacing my morning snack. The next week, I added a grain (oatmeal) in addition to the apple, and then from there, week by week, added in fruits and grains until I'd found a pattern that worked for me that included the appropriate number of grains and fruit (and still including the veggies, protein, etc. you need on the diet).
Good luck with the rest of phase one and transitioning to phase two!
