I remember, before I did the food, I really wasn't eating enough, and at first, I felt stuffed when I tried to eat the right amount. But my body really liked the larger amount, and I felt so much better. And it was great not to feel hungry all day long. I used to always be hungry, and watching the clock to see when I could eat again.

: This is cool Kathleen. In some ways I
: feel I am at step 1 again. I did
: add an extra egg and DOUBLED the
: portion of oatmeal this a.m.
: Surprisingly I thought I would
: fill up half way, but managed to
: eat all and not feel too full. The
: side effect was feeling tired for
: about an hour or two (not the
: depression tired I usually feel).
: Could this be my digestion system
: adjusting? I was thinking of
: taking digestive enzymes until I
: get used to the new quantities.

: This is challenging, maybe more than
: going off of sugar. Today at day 4
: of detox, I feel motivated and
: energized vis a vis anxious and
: depressed. I may actually get some
: work done in the yard today.
