Man! I am so excited to be in Phase 2 now that I don't know what to do!! I'm actually very comfortable with what I'm eating now that I'm stuck as to what to add. I don't miss bread at all or pasta. I guess I could add some fruit but I tried to eat a piece of melon and it was TOO sweet and I lost my appetite So I tried a mini whole wheat bagel and it was too heavy..I think I may just continue with Phase 1 and just try to add some different things and hopefully I'll find a nice balance.

Oh! My BF wants to know if he can eat grits with his eggs in the morning...I didn't know.

WAY TO GO!!! Ph 1 can be a killer, but you DID IT!! Congrats. Yep, those carbs can feel a little heavy after getting through Ph 1 but they'll help you with energy that's for sure!

You should move on the Phase II for health reasons but so it slowly. Read the Planning for Phase II thread in the FAQ and also this http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52754.

Grits? 'Fraid not if he is on SBD because grits is/are corn and corn is a hugh glycemic index food. He'll have to wait for Phase III.

Congratulations! I finally made it to P2 also! Today is actually my first day on it. I am wondering though if I shouldn't start over at P1 again? I did so good up until two days ago!! I know it's terrible that I made it that far and cheated but I was thinking..... I just cheated a little so maybe I didn't screw up too bad...? Saturday night my husband took me out and we had some mixed drinks and appetizers. I had Jim Beam and DIET Coke and I ordered 1 chicken tender and 1 mozzerella stick. I only had 1 mozzerella stick and I think 2 chicken tenders but I feel so guilty and don't know if I should start over or what!! Could someone give me some input on this? Then on Sunday we went to the inlaws for a barbeque and I sorta cheated again.....they cook their burgers with bbq sauce on the grill and so I had one of those(minus the roll), a few hot wings, deviled eggs, a small piece of steak(w/bbq sauce), a small piece of chicken breast(skinless,boneless)with bbq sauce, and the real kicker here was the small portion of macaroni salad and baked beans. the divided paper plates that you can buy.....well, I used one little section and put mac salad on one half of the one section and baked beans on the other half. I told myself it wasn't so bad because after all I didn't have any bread! I feel so low! Help!!!

Keep up this positive attitude.

Venture slowly and you will do wonderfully.

I am proud of you.

Hey thanks for the advice!! I ate another whole wheat mini bagel and some fruit 2 O for breakfast this morning and I'm totally full. I didn't enjoy eating it really but I ate it anyways. I'm down another pound today and feel great. It is amazing the energy boost one little bagel gives you!!

Tar675- man, you were so close and you cheated!! I'd say do another week on Phase 1 and REALLY stick to it. No cheating!! ) You can do it!!!! If I can, YOU can...cuz I have NO will power at all! LOL
