: Hi there,

: My name is Carrie. I'm a 44 year-old
: mother of nine. I received the
: book Your Last Diet last
: night.

: I have read the book through the
: first step. Sugar addiction
: describes my situation very well.
: I have been on an emotional roller
: coaster for many years. I thought
: I must be mildly bipolar. I have
: just been too embarrassed to check
: into it.

A very warm welcome Carrie!
It's nice you are here where there is lots of support. This program is top notch and please take my word for it, as one who has gone out and tried many others over a 10 year period, that this is the best for sugar sensitive people. Dr. D really does know what she is talking about.
I've been reading YLD again recently after 10 years and it's so "spot on" with all the information explaining how I've felt for oh so long. I'm on step 2 and have been doing the steps slowly this time, starting over about 2 months ago. My body already is starting to feel oh so much better and I'm breaking down each step into "nano" steps so that it has time to adjust to the changes.
Breakfast is good and steady and I've gone 2 weeks journalling breakfast. Just yesterday I began recording lunches. The feelings are hardest for me to figure out but it's coming along nicely.....better than any other time doing it. It was typical for me to get to step 2 or 3 and then go into "diet head" listening to other well meaning people who would always convince me that I wasn't sugar sensitive. Now I'm listening to my own knowingness because my body feels so good eating this way.
Hopefully you will stay with us and listen and learn from the ones who have been successful. It really is life changing!

Warm regards,
Terri

: I hope and pray that this is the
: solution to the insanity in my
: life. I am already a breakfast
: eater, but I have a very light
: breakfast. It is hard to let go
: and think that I can eat 3 eggs
: for breakfast and keep my weight
: and cholesteral under control, but
: I'm going to trust the program.

: I look forward to connecting to
: others but am trying to force
: myself not to be obsessive about
: this process. My hope is that
: today is the start of a new
: me.
