Day 40!

Well day 40, and I am beginning to feel like a South Beach Diet failure. Soooooo that means I am going to have to restart phase 1, or I will never continue on my weight loss because I will cheat and cheat and cheat. That is the way it is looking right now at least. I am thinking that the official re-kickoff of phase 1 will be Monday. From today until then, I am going to try to cheat as little as possible on phase 2. I have realized that if I eat grains too early in the morning that it just makes me crave them all day! I think when I hit phase 2 the next time, I am going to try to eat a grain at dinner rather than closer to breakfast (as suggested by the book). I have come to discover that I am bored eater, so I have been trying to keep myself as busy as possible on the weekends. I clean, so I won't eat! This restart plan makes me think of someone who told me that they go back and forth every 2 weeks between phase 1 and phase 2 to keep their weight loss going. I am wondering if I will have to do that too just so I won't cheat. It would probably be even more helpful to be prepared every week. I really think that is part of my problem this week! I have not been to the grocery store in a while, so I don't have any of my good foods. :(
