Hi everyone. I first read Potatoes Not Prozac in 2008. Ever since then I have made several attempts to stick to the seven step plan, and I never get past step three. But then something brings me to the realization that I need to try again. Honestly it is so hard. 1) We always go shopping at the start of the month because we have food stamps. I start running out of protein toward the end of the month. I pull together as much as I can but somewhere around the 20th-25th I just don't have anything else to eat. 2) The rest of my family isn't on RR and they don't really understand it, so I don't get much support at home. 3) The journaling always kills me...staying consistent with it is so hard for me. 4) At one point I get really tired of eggs.

I don't want to spend the next few years starting and stopping RR...I am morbidly obese and my emotions are a roller coaster. I don't know how to overcome my RR challenges, especially the practical one of running out of food. Any advice would be appreciated.
