Sheelia,

Right now you get to focus just on breakfast. Don't put a lot of energy into worrying about the sugar. When I first started the program, I ate a lot of sugar with meals and in between too! It is just part of our addiction...but this can change!

Breakfast was the hardest meal for me. I had a lot of nausea when I first started, and the thought of eating something for breakfast was rough. I'm not sure what is happening with you, but for me, I know that if my blood sugar is wonky, one symptom can be no appetite. By choosing to eat breakfast, I began to stabilize my blood sugar. Now I can eat breakfast, no problem, and feel sooo much better. I joke about it being my morning coffee. I feel ready to face the day after my breakfast.

: you guys are fantastic for your
: continued support and all the
: encouragement. But, I'm still
: afraid I am really having a hard
: time.

: it's so hard knowing what on earth I
: should have. I'm just so used to
: the sugar in everything and I
: don't know how to stop it.

: Some people say to just have what I'm
: craving all the time, and I'll get
: 'sick of it.' I don't know what
: your opinions are on this, but I
: have tried it and it never works.
: I don't seem to know moderation at
: all when it comes to the sugar. I
: can't say no after one bite, one
: taste, even one sip..of a very
: sweetened drink.

: My biggest challenges are with drinks
: actually. Not sodas, but more like
: coffee/tea drinks that have added
: sugar and milk. It just triggers
: me to eat/drink even more sugar
: and I'm just feeling like this is
: a dream goal that will take eons
: to achieve...being able to stop
: the sugar.

: I am forcing myself right now to have
: milk and cereals/oats for when I
: wake up, but the problem is, I
: HATE eating in the morning. It's
: still really uncomfortable for me
: because I have no appetite...is
: this normal? Is it because of the
: sugar that I don't really feel
: hungry until later in the day?
