Iw week 2 more difficult than week 1?

It seems that I read a post by Reinhard that week 2 is hard and at times folks find themselves a little wobbly. Is that the consensus? I started 3 weeks ago, did great, then completely went off the plan. This morning I am starting again and it seems that I had read this sort of lapse was common.
I would love to hear some BTDT!
Thanks

Good Morning! Week 2 was a little harder for me, I did not slip up, but it was harder to stay on track. I think that the first week brings the usual euphoria that all new diets bring, and by week 2 reality usually sets it, but this program is so easy to stick with it, and it allows for slip ups, we will not all be perfect all the time. God Bless and good luck.

Some people have a hard time with it "clicking" and others don't.
I did. I'd lost a lot of weight low carbing and I've lived most of my life on one special "diet" or another with the idea that when I get skinny and my life is all perfect things will be all butterflies and roses and I won't have to diet anymore and sunshine will come out my...
Anyway...
I've given No S a half hearted try a few times over the past couple of years and bad S days discouraged me.
This time, it done did stick. I've actually racked up 21 non failure No S days, and I realize that yeah, I can do this reasonably for the rest of my life. No biggie.
What actually made it stick for me was using another system first -- Glass Ceiling. I'd been drinking my inspiration just a little too often and was developing a problem. When I racked up that success, I got my butt in gear working out. So I actually had the power of two habits behind me before I really got serious about No S.

At some point, almost everyone falls off the wagon. What happens next is what matters most - the people who dust themselves off and get back on keep moving forward. The others get stuck... at least for a while. (The wagon will wait for you.)
I consider the first time I did NOT turn a small failure into a big binge to be a major turning point. Learning to accept failures and move on is an important life skill.
So, if you've reached that point... welcome! You're past the honeymoon stage, and into making this a lifetime change.
