If occasionally I have a bit more, I won't beat myself up over it. I'm slowly realizing that my perfectionism is what got me into trouble many times over the years. If I wasn't just perfect on a diet, I'd beat myself up and abandon it totally! Crazy! I can't let that happen anymore, no matter what.

OK, I hear ya on the perfectionism.
At the same time, what SB teaches us is portion control especially on calorie dense foods like seeds and nuts. Its a very big lesson that each of us who tend to eat too many nuts needs to learn.
I used to try to keep cashews in my home. A small can would be gone within 24 hours of it coming in here. I live alone so it had to be me but I hardly recall eating them!!  I don't bring them home any longer and someitme swill buy a snack size bag when I'm out and about.
Phase I veggies are the only aspect of SB that is unlimited.  |
