Hi Cathy and welcome.

I just want to share my story and maybe it will help. I went to step 3 without doing step 2. I thought I know what I eat I don't need to journal. I don't what anyone finding my food journal and reading it. On and on. I just didn't seem to get step 3. Wasn't working. So I started to journal. Guess what no one read it. I started to head towards healing. I guess our bodies really need to have a place to speak.

Maybe your breakfast needs to get figured out before moving on to the other steps. It is a different concept eating more when every diet we have tried says eat less. I kept thinking I should be eating the protein amount for the new weight I wanted to be!

Have you tried making your breakfast into a shake? Seems easier to drink. At first I could not eat/drink all my food either. I was grazer ate all day long. But was able to build up to eat the proper amount and now I have 3 meals a day.

I didn't answer all your questions but maybe some of the others have experience and can help. Thanks for posting. Chloe

: ready to start step 3. I had
: completed the breakfast class and
: the journaling and it was going
: really well. i am still having
: breakfast everyday within an hour
: with protein and a brown, but not
: journalling . I am also
: breastfeeding a toddler, so i
: recently went over to the
: breastfeeding group and Kathleen
: suggested more browns. I tryed to
: increase my browns and i felt sick
: from to much food.

: I have been trying to get steady for
: along time know and it just hasn't
: happened, i think i don't eat
: enough. When Kathleen suggested
: more browns i went away and
: thought i don't need that much
: food, how could i possible eat
: that much, how can any ones body
: need that much food?

: You know i sit at home and try to
: work out what i need to do, i need
: to let go of trying to control
: this. I'm am just so fearful of
: getting fatter, i have put on 12
: kgs since having my baby and it
: really scares me.

: So i will just post my breakfast

: 300ml oat milk
