Hi Colette,

Thanks so much for the support. Without knowing it, your question gave me an "aha moment". I did not eat breakfast before my donut holes and until now I never thought about the fact that I usually do have my shake before or at least close in time to my sugar hit. Yesterday morning though I skipped the shake. Thanks so much for the insight !!!!

: Hi Angie,

: I understand the stress thing. Sugar
: addiction really is
: frustrating...eating it does tend
: to initially calm...and then, yes,
: there is that irritable body
: feeling, and aches and tension.

: Were you able to eat a breakfast
: before the donut holes? I know it
: sounds crazy, but planning...and
: then eating breakfast really sets
: the tone for the day. It is the
: foundation...and will help to feed
: your body and mind.

: I'm in the middle of juggling quite a
: few things in my life...lots of
: changes...and I am amazed at how I
: am able to stay on track. I eat my
: meals, I add in planned snacks,
: and I actually feel pretty good. I
: do get anxious, but it is not the
: debilitating anxiety I used to
: have. I have a lot of things
: bobbing around in my head, but it
: doesn't feel like *hamster brain*,
: going over and over and over
: things. Again I am very thankful
: for the food, and feeling quite
: steady in the midst of change.

: I think focusing on breakfast will
: make a huge difference for you! Is
: there any way we can help you with
: breakfast?
