Hi! I think that you're in the right place, working on Step 1 and asking questions. I struggle with the idea of giving up sugars and baking.
This week, I had a friend over for tea and birthday cake. Of course, I ate some of the dessert and was surprised that it tasted too sweet and really wasn't as good as I had thought it would be. It was an opportunity for me to see that I am making progress and that just doing the breakfast can create a lot of changes.
I started this program because I wanted to be in control of my sugar consumption and stop bingeing. Now, I also want the emotional stability that is possible.
