I've done fairly well. However, this last Saturday we went to the Puyallup Fair. I made a decision, prior to going, that I would allow myself to enjoy food while there. I had a cheeseburger and fries, and later I had some fudge. Also drank some "rusty nails" with my husband. As a result, gained 2.5 pounds. However, this morning I weighed and 2 of the 2.5 pounds are gone. I decided to start back on phase 1, day 1, as of yesterday. I've been rather pleased with myself. It hasn't been as much of a struggle as I thought it would be. Perhaps it's because I mentally "prepared" myself before starting the SBD. I am normally a person who is addicted to lattes. Since on the SBD, I haven't gotten a single one. Nor have I allowed myself to purchase any sweets, although yesterday after lunch it was extremely tempting. I just told myself not to ruin the "cleanse"... if that's what it's called. lol I don't feel discouraged at all. I am ready to LOSE weight!!!
