RE: is SBD for me.

[Guest guest]

First of all ann you look fabulous and are an inspiration. I have

been lurking for the last 13 days--today is my last day of phase one

officially. I will be doing another 14 days on SBD phase 1 as allowed

for those of us who are morbidly obese. I started this journey at

270.5 and in 13 days have lost 13 pounds. Note--I have eaten every

morsel of food on the plan as it is layed out in the SBD book and

exercised 30 min a day. I don't expect to have continued losses at

this rate, but I do expect to continue to feel as wonderful as I am

feeling today-- free from preservatives, processing and the fog they

bring to me. I have often entertained the idea of weight loss

surgery,but the thought of not being able to " normally " interact with

family and friends without worrying about getting sick is always the

thought that stops me. I suggest giving it an honest try for a month

and see how it makes you feel--don't concentrate on the weight loss,

but on the feeling. Commitment is key to success in anything.
