Thanks for this, no its not rude - you know, sometimes i need a good kick in the pants!

Ok. *deep breath* everything else aside. Going to tackle breakfast, it will take me awhile to make it regular but as I was reminded by another on here...its NOT a race, and I can go slowly but steady to get breakfast normalized.

I have to trust, and give faith to this program. I'm afraid, but I need to surrender the fear and just DO. it's so much easier said than done...is there anyone here I can be accountable to? I mean should I post on here what I eat each day...or perhaps PM someone, it might help keep me in check.

Question also...are spices good additions to things for flavour? I mean, as long as they arenot too sweet or addicting...is it okay to still enjoy the flavour of things? I don't have much will keeping my oatmeal so bland each day!

Hi Sheelia

: I understand how you feel, wanting to
: know if you have it all done
: right, etc., but just focus on the
: breakfast for now. It does sound
: like maybe you were trying to do
: too many things at once, trying to
: eat another meal in the day time,
: and maybe that has gotten you into
: a tizzy.

: Without sounding rude, I hope you can
: understand how this comment is
: meant, you are obsessing over all
: this......we all had some
: obsessions at one point before
: beginning to sort out our food,
: and that is BECAUSE obsessing is
: caused by our brain chemistry not
: being right. So therefore, the
: further you go along the steps,
: the more it will all clear up and
: get better. Really, please just
: trust it, it DOES work 100% if you
: can just let go of control
: (another brain chemistry issue)
: and just do step 1.

: I totally know what you mean about
: caring too much what others think,
: and believe it or not, THAT too,
: is just out of balance brain
: chemistry. I didn't leave the
: house alone for two years at one
: point when I was on sugar, maybe
: about 6 years ago. Whenever I went
: out even before that I was always
: pre-occupied with what others
: thought, just walking down the
: street, wondering what people in
: cars driving past thought of me,
: people walking past me, etc., I
: never enjoyed anything I did
: around strangers. BUT....all this
: has disappeared!! HOW? By starting
: on step one and then moving on to
: the other steps when I loved the
: step I was on, and did it so
: automatically that I could have
: done it in my sleep, lol.

: I hope this helps.

: With much love
