this is so embarassing maybe but breakfast is probably going to be as hard as i can imagine...it's the hardest thing for me, for sure. The other steps seem so much more manageable!

Meant to ask, what's a good plan in terms of meal-times...if I don't want to eat too early for my last meal (b/c I'm afraid of still being hungry later) but if I don't want to eat too late either, and disrupt my nighttime digestion...what do you recommend?

: Hi Sheelia,

: Good job starting to eat something in
: the morning, even though you don't
: want to! That sure changed for me
: as I went through the steps.
: Breakfast was the hardest meal for
: me to eat.

: Nice start with your breakfast meals.
: It really helps to start with what
: you can do, and add in the harder
: parts a bit later. Do you know how
: to calculate the amount of protein
: you need? That would be the first
: piece of adding protein to your
: meal. And yes, it's just fine to
: have fruit...just don't let it
: distract you too much from adding
: in the other parts of breakfast.

: My daughter used to eat all of her
: complex carb first, and then say
: she was too full to eat her
: protein. We chatted a bit about
: the protein piece, and she came up
: with a solution all by herself.
: She would eat 1/2 of her complex
: carb first, then 1/2 of her
: protein...then back to her complex
: carb, and finish her protein. I'm
: sure you will figure this out too!
