Hi Amy,

Doing the first four steps at once? Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

I am still inclined to rush things but find that I'm able to work out more realistic change when I tackle a little piece at a time. I've been on step three for several weeks and will likely be there for another month or two.

Once you start eating a good breakfast, you are going to begin to feel better! Are you on the Step One list yet?

All good wishes to you,

Nancy
