Well here I am again, I started losing weight on the South Beach Diet about one and a half years ago. Then my son came along, now 9 months old, and all that went down the drain. Before the only other time in my life that I lost weight was just before I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter, now 5 years old. I have decided that I am going to lose weight and not get pregnant. I am going to lose weight for me, not for anyone else. I do not like the way that I look or feel and I am tired of feeling that way so I am going to do some thing about it.
I have not officially started the South Beach Diet again, this time I am reading the book and truly trying to learn how to change the way that I look at food and the way I think about eating so that I do not fail this time around and so that I have excuse or anyone else to blame.
So a little about me...I am a 26 year old women with two children, one boy 9 months and one girl 5 years. I just got married this past September to the most wonderful man, my high school sweetheart, Marty. I live in upstate NY and work for Premier Packaging. I love/hate my job. Let me explain, I love what I do and who I work for, but I don't get with the people that I work with. And can you say STRESS!! It seems that all of my life is stress.
Well I will check back soon to let you know when I will be starting. |

Good luck Sarah!
diet-wise i'm in a pretty similar situation to you, i lost weight before on SBD and then fell off the wagon and piled even more on. i'm just coming to the end of phase one now, and am already seeing results!
I dunno if anyone has mentioned it to you, but it's well worth reading the Sticky posts and all the other information on this site as well as reading the book!
I think it's also worth mentioning that there is a phenomenal amount of support on here from fellow South Beachers!
Good luck again!!! |

Well I finial Finished reading and I am starting Phase 1 on Monday! I have even asked my Husband to join me in the diet so I will not be doing this alone, which is great.
Tomorrow I am going shopping for food to get us through the first week. I can't wait. I am so tired of seeing that large person in the mirror. I want to see the same person that I see in my head, small and good looking! This is going to be the hardest thing that I have ever done, but I am so ready to do it.
Well I will be back later to give a update on my progress.
Wish me luck, no don't wish me luck there is not luck in this one, send me healthy recipes so that I have no choice but to eat well, and lose the weight.
:wink: :lol: |
