Yes it will be better eventually. It's so easy to lose that thought in the daily rat race.

There's not much else to say - I must concentrate on my diet, focus on whatever positives I can find, and quit thinking so much.

Thanks for your support!

: Hi Gigi

: I know Kathleen has answered this
: already but just thought I would
: put a little response in too,
: though it is really exactly what
: Kathleen says.

: I always thought that I was an
: introvert, because I used to be
: scared of people, but at the same
: time, I liked being around them,
: (when on sugar I just didn't like
: them to approach me, but I loved
: being around people, just wanted
: to be invisible because of how I
: felt about myself.)

: The BE raisers really do happen on
: their own. For me, for example,
: there are lots of little BE
: raisers, walks, reading, watching
: movies, listening to music, etc.
: If for some reason my BE's are too
: low for me to be interested in one
: of those, and I feel all
: "What shall I do, I am bored
: and can't concentrate", I
: take a bubble bath. Sometimes I
: even have to force myself to do
: that, but then when I have done
: it, (I think it's the first one to
: be done because it requires
: absolutely no thinking about, you
: run the water and get in it, lol)
: it opens the door to doing some of
: the others.

: As you go through the steps and go
: finally go off sugar, you will
: find your own little list. It's
: not a conscious thing, I never
: thought about a BE raising list
: for example, it's just the things
: I always liked doing. When I was
: on sugar I could never sit and
: watch a movie and just sit, I
: always had to be doing crossword
: puzzles or something at the same
: time, or I never had the attention
: span, felt like the movie wasn't
: happening fast enough lol. Now I
: can easily do that, and enjoy it,
: but I don't do any one of my BE
: raisers all day. On sugar I would
: read book after book with no
: break, because I didn't feel like
: or didn't have the concentration
: to do other things. Now I will
: read for a time, tidy up, go for a
: walk, watch a movie etc. That felt
: strange to start with because I
: thought my attention span had
: gone, not wanting to do the same
: thing all the time!

: Hope that helps. Don't worry about it
: all now, it will all just happen,
: I know that sounds strange, but
: think of it as how your brain is
: drawing you back to foods that
: make you feel good. Our brains do
: the same with activities too. All
: on their own.

: Love
