Angela, I am not sure what to say to give you support. I just know this program really helped me. I came to it mostly for my mood swings/unable to control my emotional outburst. My DH didn't really believe it could work either. But I believed it would and we realized what could it hurt and the "food" was a healthy plan.

It took me a few years to heal and give up sugar. But I keep at it.
I jumped to step 3 without doing step 2. It didn't work, until I figured out that each step is important and builds on each other. I do know this program is worth it and has changed my life, for the better. Keep trying and coming back.

Is breakfast solid and doing all 4 parts?
1 with an hour of waking (I do best within a half hour)
2 with a complex carb
3 with the proper amount of protein
4 everyday

I need some advice/support. My
: husband has finally lost patience
: with me. In fairness to him, I
: have been trying to work this
: program since 2008. I can never
: get past step 2. I end up giving
: up the journaling, starting step
: 3, failing it, and quitting the
: program, only to start it all over
: again a few months later. My mood
: swings seem to be worse and worse.
: After my latest "blow
: up" my husband told me that
: he doesn't want to hear about my
: "sugar diet" anymore.
: He's can't continue to get his
: hopes up only to have me binge
: again. He said he's going to start
: "calling me out" when he
: sees me eating sugar. He is
: absolutely right to be so
: frustrated. But, here's my
: dilemma. I would like to give up
: the sugar cold turkey, but I know
: if I do that it won't last. But,
: when I start step 3 he will see me
: eat sugar with every meal. Does
: anyone else have this issue? Any
: advice?
