Hi Allison,

Oh yeah, I forgot the egg! Dense protein - got it. Thanks for the tip! I'm so thankful that I live near a farm and can get organic eggs from chickens running around in the grass. So many things in life to be thankful for!

I agree with what you said. Although I wasn't completely sure how I was not quite 'getting it' (see previous posts in this topic) I decided to just not rush things to step 2 and kick back and just see what came up - what I could still learn? "Maybe I am overanalyzing", I thought to myself. I wrote in my journal (not food) and didn't go back and read it until today. I found, uh, little about food, LOL, and lots about gratitude for the little things, fear of change regarding this sugar thing , and a desire to let addictive behaviors fall out of my routine.

It's reassuring to hear that you benefited by stopping the linear thinking and 'just be' made a difference for you.

Have a nice evening and thanks for sharing,
Becky
