Ann, keep doing the food. You will feel better soon. As you heal next time you will be better prepared to deal with the situation. Sometimes I give up activities or things because radiance is more important. But that took me a few yrs to figure out!
: Hello,
: The past year I was closely involved
: in planning an event that
: culminated this past weekend with
: guests arriving from out of town
: to attend the event. I had
: houseguests for 1 week and I was
: out of town for 4 days, so this
: was a good test of my ability to
: stay with the program during this
: time while also being sleep
: deprived and stressed dealing with
: some difficult guests.
: I came to the RR program in February
: already off the sugar and on SAM-e
: (through another program working
: with my naturopath). As a result
: of incorporating the RR food plan
: my moods became stable, energy
: good, cravings gone, and I felt
: happy and extremely grateful to
: have found the RR program. I did
: really well maintaining at Step 3
: but after the event after all the
: houseguests left I lost it. Am
: back to using the sugar along with
: bulimic behaviors, and I am so
: disappointed in myself. I am back
: to Step 1 and doing well with all
: 4 parts of breakfast.
: I am guessing that the overall stress
: of hosting the event and my
: inability to manage it well
: unbalanced my brain chemistry and
: now my moods are overall negative,
: I feel depressed and sad and
: disappointed, my energy is low,
: and I know I am compulsively using
: the sugar to feel better.
: I have faith in the RR program to
: help me feel better again and am
: doing Step 1 and trying to keep my
: focus on the Step. And I welcome
: any words of encouragement and
: support you'd like to share.
: Thank you!
: Ann
