Hi there,
Very happy to have you joining us! Yes, those of us who are sugar sensitive had the kind of reaction you are having to Kathleen's books. We aren't alone and there is finally someone who understands us and knows what to do!
The truly wonderful thing about the RR steps is that they do not require willpower. Simply follow the steps, in order, slowly, and amazing results come
What are you having for breakfast? Do you know about our breakfast list where everyone is working on breakfast and there is help to get it just right for you? You can access it from the "Make Connections" tab on the home page or the forum page.
A note of caution about decreasing your sugar -- most of us found that worked against us, increasing cravings and craziness over the long run. Waiting til we were farther along on the steps seemed to make it almost effortless.
Keep posting and let us know how you are doing.

: I discovered this book 9 days ago,
: read the whole thing in 2 days and
: felt like my endless search to
: understand why I do the things I
: do had finally been answered. I
: began the steps 7 days ago today.
: It is truly like being reborn.
: Usually I am solely relying on
: will power to get me through the
: urges to self medicate with sugar
: and we all know that will power
: only works for so
: long...especially with 3 kids that
: I love but wear me out each day!
: :) I also feel like my meal
: options are endless (just need a
: little thought to them) rather
: than so many diets that restrict
: heavily or you have to count and
: weigh and think and plan them so
: much that by the time it is time
: to eat, your mentally spent! I
: feel so empowered and hopeful for
: the future. Since I am a
: "newbie" I still eat
: sugar but have followed the books
: advice to only have
: "sweets" with my meal
: which is a huge difference! Today
: was a long day and by dinner I
: felt myself wanted to
: "escape" like normal. I
: went to the fridge, pulled out a
: pumpkin pie and after having only
: 1 bite had the clarity of mind to
: have a "chat" with
: myself. I knew that what I was
: looking for was nowhere in that
: pumpkin pie. Have I turned away
: from food before? Yes...but have I
: ever shut the fridge door and
: walked away without a second
: thought? No! I was half way down
: the hall when I realized what had
: just happened and then the flood
: of love, hope, and yes,
: Radiance...hit me. I look forward
: to continuing on with this amazing
: program and have that radiant
: warmth with me much more often.
: Thanks for listening to my story.
: :)
