Hi Sue,

So glad you stopped by!

So it sounds like step 1 is good! Are you bored with it? I know I can get a bit stuck with meals, and when I do, I just sit down and try 1 or 2 new recipes.

Sorry the step 2 class isn't working for you. Would it help to just journal breakfast for a bit? I know when life is overwhelming, it is hard to make changes.

Both my daughters are ss, and I feel like this program was one of the greatest things that came our way. My oldest was 13 at the time, and I was so afraid of those teen years. But both girls have made it through their teen years, and although we have definitely had our hard times, it really has been delightful.

: Hello Friends

: I come here searching for support.
: I've been doing the food for
: nearly a year and had got steady
: on step 5. Then I managed one day
: sugar free and think that scared
: me.

: Since about mid December things have
: been slipping and I find myself
: feeling less than enthusiastic. I
: know that this is without a doubt
: the plan for me but I seem to have
: lost the plot. Well not
: completely, step 1 is still good,
: but the others are getting sloppy.
: I seem to be eating the same old
: things over and over and it's got
: so boring.

: I recently signed up for the first
: step 2 class but have struggled to
: really pay it much attention. I'm
: getting a bit depressed I think, I
: don't know where to start to get
: back to where I was. Can anyone
: give me some advice please?

: One observation I have made is that I
: hardly ever communicate with the
: rest of you good people. Again,
: something I know will help but I
: just don't get on and do it. I
: don't make time for it and I don't
: know why......is this self
: sabbotage?

: Some big problems have come up in my
: personal life recently and I'm
: finding life a bit overwhelming at
: times. I need to be getting myself
: into a better place more than ever
: before.

: My 9 year old daughter is undoubtedly
: ss and I desperately want to help
: her but I think I need to sort
: myself first. I'm feeling a sense
: of urgency and don't know what to
: do next.

: Thanks folks,
