Sadly not the actual beach…the diet. Kind of. Except for the part where I cheat on it. Constantly.
I’m eating egg whites and peppers. I want a big fat chocolate chip muffin.
I’m snacking on celery. What cruel God created celery? What I want is freshly baked cookies and coffee with cream.
I’m choking down enough green salad to choke a horse. I want a big fat juicy burger with a side of greasy fries and mayo to dip them in.
For dinner it’s a chicken breast, goat cheese, tomato and asparagus. Should be more then enough but I’m still obsessing about the damn cookie.
Starting the south beach diet today seemed like a great idea last night, but right about now I would trade my favourite pair of shoes for a bowl of popcorn and a coke.
Sigh. I hate skinny people and the creators of all thing chocolate.
Screw it. I’m eating a cookie.
If you have any great South Beach Diet tips feel free to pass them along. I have the feeling I’m going to need all the help I can get.
Mwah!
I hear your pain. I was going to start Dukan yesterday but with raging PMS and a snow day for the kids I decided to start today.
I REALLY want a piece of toast but hanging in. I’m going to be busy with “Spring” cleaning to distract me LOL
Good Luck!
I wouldn’t last 10 minutes on this diet, though I do like celery. Wishing you luck from the sidelines!
First of all, celery isn’t actually food, so there’s that. Also, I hate to break it to you but you ARE one of those skinny people dude.
Here is my South Beach tip, and I’ve done it and plan on it again – get used to eating A LOT of chicken.
I have zero South Beach recipes. Sorry. I dont diet, just try to follow the moderation philosophy and try to exercise daily. I certainly wish food didn’t make is gain weight. It’s so much fun to eat! 🙂

Man, I lived to cheat on diets. Lived. Whenever you tell me i CAN’T have something, it doubles my NEED for it!
I stink at following diets. I rebel against rules in general so if I know I can’t eat something, I want it even more than I would have normally.
But good luck! I’m really no help, am I?
I’m with Shell. Now I have to go eat another powdered donut.
All this post did was make me hungry.
You are getting alot of great feed back!
It is extremely hard to loose weight! Although, our number 1 problem is calling it a DIET!
Try thinking of it as a life style change! It is hard, and I struggle with loosing 5 pounds! But if you put your mind to it, you can honestly achieve it. I LOVE COFFEE AND COKE, I NEED TO HAVE like two coffees a day, and a coke with my meals! Although, I read a book called skinny bitch (pretty interesting), and around the same time, lent started so I gave up both! It’s been two weeks and I have not had either (except coke once, at the movies lol) but it wasn’t easy, but now I manage when I see other people drink coke, or coffee.
Try doing things in phases! I know you love your coffee! A recent study mentioned that coffee can actually help break down fat lol.
S.
I know you can do it.. You can still have a treat…
No hints, just wishing you luck! Your dinner actually sounds pretty good 🙂 (I am pregnant and I have not even begun to cook our dinner, so just about anything sounds good)
I got nothing over here. I am the poster child for lack of willpower and cheating!
I lived through the ’90’s diet craze of low-fat carbs. Remember Snackwells? Yeah. That’s what I’m talkin ’bout.
Which is why I’m still a carb girl to this very day. Forget South Beach, girlfriend. Have a loaded baked potato with me.
I did that diet – kinda sorta – a long while back. I don’t recall losing anything though. I can’t cut carbs – I just can’t. But I do recall that you are allowed to have chocolate covered strawberries while on the South Beach.
