Hi Jeffrey:

I think when my BEs are low especially when I am detoxing from something, my body looks for comfort food - protein (beef) does this and hot oatmeal. I think it is this idea my little addict brain has that without sugar or whatever, I am not cared for.

Also, I have trouble being steady. Right now I am doing that and it has me pretty anxious, so I am watchful for pods rearing their little spreading feet.

I guess I am just a drama pup and so if something is not wrong, I try to make something wrong I am a work in progress.

I hope this helps a bit,

Dori
