: Hi all,
: I'm so very frustrated, at myself
: more than anything. Last Monday,
: before I left for an out-of-town
: work trip, I was seriously
: considering planning my Step 6
: soon. I was feeling on top of the
: world and really strong and steady
: on all 5 steps. 5 days out of
: town, however, has really done a
: number on me, and I still haven't
: recuperated. I had no potato for 5
: nights because we ate dinner so
: late. My timings were all off, I
: actually had one day that I had
: zero browns (even their stupid
: breakfast potatoes had been
: peeled!), and I got very little
: sleep. It's very possible I've
: been glutenized, too.

: I tried my best to get back to normal
: starting Sunday, but I still feel
: exhausted, depressed and even
: angry. An irritated anger than I
: haven't felt in a long time. I
: know these are biochemical
: feelings, that will pass as I keep
: doing the food. But I don't know
: how long it's going to take to
: undo the damage that I did in
: those 5 days.

Dodi,

actually this is not a big deal. It is just part of learning how to do the program.
Rather than trying to whip right back to where you were, just go back to what
feels settled and then nano step forward

Truly, as the biochemical feelings pass you can have fun.
