Hi Patty S,

This program has helped many diabetics, and I hope as you go through the steps, it will help you too. The steps for diabetics is pretty much the same, except you get to journal your blood sugar readings, so you get some great journal information right away!

Can you let us know what you are having for breakfast? Have you started step 1 yet? Success here starts with step 1. Today, I had leftover lentil chili for breakfast.

: i can't tell you how many times I
: have gone to RR, signed up,
: selected communities, and by
: passed step 1...thinking I new it
: all. I come from an Overeaters
: Anonymous back ground and starved
: my way to being 80 pounds thinner.
: I ate 3 meals a day, weighed and
: measured meals, called my sponsor
: to tell her what I was eating for
: the day and went to 3 meetings a
: week...I went crazy. After I left
: OA, I went on, got my undergrad
: degree and masters degree in
: education and went on with the
: business of living. I tried OA a
: time or 2 but counldn't adhere to
: the strictness of the . program. I
: have tried but I CAN NOT DO IT.the
: whole thought of it depresses me.
: I now have full blown diabetes and
: my blood sugars are out of
: control. I still eat sugar like
: crazy and say I will start my
: sugar free diet each new day. I
: have been messing around with this
: issue for 40 years. It is going to
: kill me if I don't get help. I
: need to eliminate sugar from my
: diet, I need to eat browns. I need
: to eat more veggies and the
: healthy list goes on. If you have
: ever lost weight in this RR
: program, please write back. I am
: chasing my tail and I don't have
: lots of tail chasing time left. I
: need to get healthy....Thanks.
