I think you have a great idea about taking a step back. I feel great about breakfast, some days lunch goes well, then night time comes. The urge to snack is huge! I think I will take a step back. I am feeling confident with breakfast, so now I will just focus on a kick butt lunch. I am also going to see if I can add a bit ore protean to those two meals (another responder is making me want to try a bit more).
I think this will take a lot of the failure feeling out. Thank you for your thoughts!

: Hi Rachel

: You are right, it doesn't have to be
: this hard. When I have felt
: overwhelmed or like I just can't
: do it anymore, I know it is time
: for me to back up my program to a
: spot where I can be successful.
: Many times I have gone back
: to step one and focused on making
: my breakfast be the best it can be
: or I have gone back to step two
: and worked on loving my journal
: (still a work in progress ) I
: have also gone back to step three
: many many times as it is just such
: a huge step and there are many
: parts that I needed help with.
:

: For me it is best just to focus on a
: small part of a step - the easiest
: one! Sounds opposite of what our
: mothers told us i.e. "do the
: hard stuff first." But,
: success breeds success for me
: anyway.

: I am looking forward to hearing what
: part of step 3 is easiest for you
: and what you would like to focus
: on.

: You can do this, you really can and
: you will be successful because
: there is simply no failure in this
: program, only learning
: experiences.
