Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Mel, Breakfast is hard, getting up and eating first thing in the morning is hard. I do feel like I will have to give something up, sugary treats have been so embedded in my life since early childhood. I am willing to do what it takes though to be healthy, I am willing to let those things go. Maria In a message dated 3/7/2010 9:46:01 A.M.

I want a nice boring simple life, with no major ups and downs from sugar. So I am willing to do anything, I am going to do these steps in order, it is very hard and challenging I'm finding.

Everyone's pace is different. You are super motivated so maybe your progress through step one will be swift compared to someone who really wants to take her time with step one. All I can suggest is try out the step one as suggested in RR and see how that goes. It is not as though you *have* to have sugar and refined carbohydrates at each meal...it is just a mind set of having the priority be one thing at a time, first things first and focusing on the first step so that it truly sinks in and lays the foundation for deep healing and success with step 2 and onward. That's just my take on it. What did you have for breakfast today? Shake?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I could try and prepare the night before, but my family would laugh at me, if they were out of bed before me.

I want a nice boring simple life, with no major ups and downs from sugar. So I am willing to do anything, I am going to do these steps in order, it is very hard and challenging I'm finding.

Eastern Standard Time, _janine@morrisaceve_janine@morrisac_janine@morrisacevedjanin_ (janine) ) writes: Hi Maria, Everyone starts at a different point in her life, or his life, and everyone begins at a different level of healing and health. Everyone's pace is different. You are super motivated so maybe your progress through step one will be swift compared to someone who really wants to take her time with step one. All I can suggest is try out the step one as suggested in RR and see how that goes. It is not as though you *have* to have sugar and refined carbohydrates at each meal...it is just a mind set of having the priority be one thing at a time, first things first and focusing on the first step so that it truly sinks in and lays the foundation for deep healing and success with step 2 and onward. That's just my take on it. What did you have for breakfast today? Shake?
