3rd or 4th try......new to the group---mending setbacks?

[Guest guest]

Im a 55 year old guy in Warren, Ohio. I have started this diet 3 or 4

times. I never make it thru the first 2 weeks. I started again

yesterday. Then it dawned on me that I had a party on saturday and a

golf outting on sunday.

If I have setback on saturday and sunday, do I start phase 1 all over

or do I just extend it 2 more days???

You can go on outings and to parties while still on Phases 1. You will just

need to make good choices when you are out. I have a friend who has been

dying to try SB but always has something to do each week. If you wait for

the perfect week to start, it will not come.

I totally understand. Last week on day 2 we were invited to a friends

house for dinner. I've tried so many " diets " that I just don't want

to tell any of my friends what I'm doing, so I didn't tell her and it

was not an SBD friendly meal. So I botched. But i just went right

back at it the next day. I also gave into a craving on Fri. But only

flubbed mildly, nothing like when I normally " cheat " . I also have a

dinner tonight that I have no control of and one on Thursday too. I'm

just gettin past them all P1ing in between and will do a full

uninterrupted 2 weeks of P1 starting on Friday. I figure, I'm at

least gettin accustom to changing my eating patterns rather than to

keep pushing it off (like I've been doing over the past month).

Just give it a start and try to choose what is best, but if you flub,

don't get discouraged wake up and down that V8 and have some

protein!! :-)
