Back on Phase 1.

Back on Phase 1!
Hubby and I both went back to our old habits this summer.  Last summer I maintained with no problem, because I followed the guidelines for maintenance that IP suggests.  This summer - different story - it was like a few months of FLASHBACK!  A reminder to us as to why we gained the weight in the first place.  But - the difference was that we were very aware of what we were doing wrong, and we KNEW that we would have to take steps to "nip it in the bud" - and not end up facing that huge amount of weight to take off again.
So -- as of today - we are both back on Phase 1.  I have never looked forward to a diet before - but I was really looking forward to today.  Get back on track, take off this extra weight that is making my jeans snug, and making me feel icky.
I don't actually plan to weigh on the scale very often - but I will post when I have something to report.
I feel thinner already!  (ok -- not likely, but my mind is so happy to be on the right path, that the weight of the GUILT I was experiencing is gone!).
Good luck on your paths -- feel free to share your successes with the world - its okay to brag a bit when you are seeing results!
