Hi guys,

Thank you for all of the support. I've added more brown carbs to my breakfast per Kathleen's suggestion. So now I'm eating 21 g protein with 1/2 c oatmeal and it has made a huge difference. I'm still craving sugar but it seems more emotional than physical. I didn't realize how hard it is to eat the potato at night. The lady few nights I brushed my teeth before I remembered to war the potato and therefore skipped it. As a result I've had a headache for 3 days. The potato is a huge helper in this process and I am going to really focus on remembering it. I guess I thought I had breakfast down because I had always eaten it but I didn't realize I needed more browns. I feel a huge difference throughout the day just from changing my carb from 1 piece of sprouted bread, to now eating 1/2 c oatmeal. Unbelievable what 1 small change can make. My binges have been smaller since the change. I am grateful for any small successes.

Thanks again for all your responses. It has made me feel less alone and less crazy in all this.
