First day on phase 1

That is a good standard visualization link that I've seen the amounts like that listed at other sites without the little pictures! Just be aware that a serving size for all grains is really a 1/2 cup per the FDA food pyramids and SB recommendations. It's really 1 ounce or 30 grams uncooked if you want to be super technical!

Another helpful visualization is to think of half your standard dinner plate being vegetables and 1/4 protein and 1/4 (or less) starches or grains as rough proportions.

Last nights dinner was a huge lesson in what a real plate should look like. It was half fish, 1/4 steamed snow peas, 1/4 wilted cabbage. It was a tasty tasty dinner and I didnt miss my usual half plate of pasta or rice. Feels like each day I eat this way it gets easier. Not saying there wont be setbacks but right now Im feeling good.

Back on Phase 1 because I totally fell off! But that's okay. Just remaining positive. I'm back on for 2 weeks then moving on to a more successful Phase 2.

I broke my nose a couple months and as I was healing definitely turned to food as my schedule got all out of whack.

I think by posting on the boards on a regular basis, I know I will get the support that I need.

Today has been a good day so I feel great. So happy to be back here.

Day 2 and I am sticking to the rules. No cheating - and making myself eat a post dinner snack even when I am not hungry.

I want to be successful on SBD like never before. So reaching out for some support and making sure to visit the boards every day.

I know it sounds crazy but just waking up this morning after my first day on Phase 1 made me feel so much better than I have in the past month. I am confident I can do this successfully.

Thanks,
Joy

Always celebrate your successes and doubt your doubts!!

And when you are having one of those moments, maybe come back and read that again to re-find that confidence in yourself!

You can do this. Remember this is a work in progress, celebrate your achievements and just keep doing what you are doing.
