Joy dot: finished a project yesterday - necklaces for friends that I started in December. Now I will get the joy of giving them to people.

Good job, Kim. Breakfast is all you have to focus on. And that meal would be fine all the way until you get to step 5.

The Carrabas here closed - I miss it. There were a couple of chicken dishes I really liked. I was able to get step 7 meals there, so you will be able to keep eating there.

Happy birthday!

: I think I actually "got
: it" today (for a
: beginner..lol). Tomorrow is my
: birthday, so I got up and had my
: shake (brown rice protein with
: almond milk and banana) and
: oatmeal then I decided that I
: wouldn't "worry" about
: lunch (my birthday lunch at
: Carrabas. It was WONDERFUL --
: Sangria, Chicken Marsala, Bread
: with oil and herbs and a chocolate
: dessert...and I ENJOYED it! I'm
: still dreadfully full, but not
: "guilty" feeling and
: disgusted with myself (and I
: didn't clean my plate, because I
: didn't want to). I think that's
: the feeling we want to have,
: right? That enjoyment without
: stress over our food?
: Anyway...just my thought of the
: day (and I'm only on Step One.
: Trying to figure it out.)
