: I can't stress enough, how much your

: feel, how my body reacts and such
: to sugar, the way everyone here
: does! It's truly amazing...

: Anyway, okay. I'm trying to do a lot

: planning to make these things my
: focus: I want to start really
: healing my biochemistry. I want to
: stop the cravings and urges to
: binge and overreat, or eat
: emotionally which is always a
: problem...I'm a very emotional
: eater!

: So first thing to do? Start with
: breakfast...I need to make it
: consistent, every day and within
: an hour of rising.

: This I understand, now the part I
: still need some guidance and
: feedback on, is whether I'm having

: The things so far that I feel comfort
: with are:

: -yogurts
: - fruit
: - shakes, usually I like to mix
: powder of sorts with bean / soya
: milk
: - some vegetable soups

: I know the fruit and yogurt are still

: me to want more. And they are
: definitely better than other
: sources of sugar!

: These are the things that
: realistically i CAN do. breakfast
: is a hard habit to establish but I

: easier to make it 'go down.'

Hi Sheelia

I am so impressed with your commitment to healing. :h2) :h2) :h2) You have difficulties, but you are sorting them out and having many victories. :h4)

Not so long ago you didn't think you could eat anything in the morning and now look at you - you have choices! Give yourself a big pat on the back. :h11)

For me it was easier to work on one part of breakfast at a time, when that was accomplished I would move to the next one. So which part are you working on at the moment? :h5)

The foods you are eating look healthy to me. :h6) The real question is are you eating enough protein for your weight and some brown?

However, you have come so far and I don't want to see you bog yourself down with too many things to concentrate on. :h3) I know when I am having trouble I need to simplify :h1) and concentrate on one thing at a time or I get overwhelmed. :s4(
