T-Minus Three Days

My lovely friend B at work turned me on to a diet called the Dukan Diet.  I had never heard of this until we went out to lunch to discuss..... yes, over steaming plates of lovely pasta with chicken and white sauce, we discussed a this French diet I had never heard of.  One my best friends, J, joined us as well to hear all about this diet we would be going on.
B came prepared with a hard backed book and excitement.  She hadn't yet read the entire book, but had read enough to give us an overview of the diet and eating plan, and to tell us we needed to go and figure out what our true weight is on http://www.dukandiet.com.  After lunch J and I rushed back to figure out what the heck that meant.
After reading over the information and putting in my stats, I would be on the Attack phase for 5 days, Cruise phase for 275 days, and the Consolidation phase for 393 days.  Ahhhhh the consolidation phase,  That is my nemesis.  While I can do a diet and stick to it every time, and be highly successful, it is the end of the diet and going back to regular eating that kills me each and every time. I do believe though, with more accountability, and with the realization that I am 37 and severely overweight that maybe it is time for me to put on my big girl pants and start staying focused on the big picture.  My life.
