A couple of months ago I was still obsessing about sugar: how much, when, why, what, etc.. It was draining all my energy and keeping my attention away from building a good breakfast and getting into touch with myself on step 2. Finally I threw in the towel with the sugar issue (que sera sera) and my journal said to move it to dinner, every day with the same amount. I also got support from Kathleen and other people here on RR.

Now the sugar issue is just mechanical. It is part of my step 3 daily plan and I don't think about it too much. It's actually really boring just to eat sugar without a lot of drama, I am learning to get used to it though.
