Hi Bexi:

I was never a breakfast eater either. But I really love my breakfast now and never go without it. I actually look forward to it

You only need to have a complex carb with breakfast. Browning up the other meals i.e. switching to complex carbs is on step 5, but if you like them, you may certainly eat them with other meals.

I came to RR August of 2009, so this months is my three year anniversary. I have been through the steps, but I struggle a lot and am presently focusing on getting my program back on track. I am getting there.

I am posting on step 2 at the moment. It is a very fun group as is step 1. I like to go back to these steps when I want to improve my program or change it a bit or when I just want to have fun.

I love feeling steady and productive, able to see joys in the world and all. But still, sometimes I get off track. The beauty of this program is that there is no finish line, no shame in staying with a certain step for a while or going back to it. Actually rushing through is discouraged. There really is a lot embedded in the steps and if you hurry, you miss that part.

I look forward to hearing about your journey with the steps and most particularly breakfast.

Dori
