Hi Kathleen,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I see what you mean. I'm going to read the two books I have over again and consider your experienced advice.

It really did take a lot to give up the sugars from an emotional and habit point of view. I'm feeling pretty good that I have... oddly, like you referred to, it's as if I have somehow re-wired my noggin.

I've had some emotional challenges over the past 3 months, but haven't found the need to return to sugar. (Little bit concerned about adding the fruit and desserts and stuff now, as per the book's plan.) But yes, I'll consider your advice seriously... again, thank you.

I'll dive into the books again : )

: Hi Cael,

: I am going to offer you a slightly
: different perspective.

: What you are doing is Cael's program.
: I will respectfully disagree with
: you about *getting over* your
: sugar addiction.
: What you have done is the equivalent
: of an alcoholic stopping drinking
: and thinking he is in recovery. If
: you take out all fruits as well,
: you
: are setting yourself up for a major
: crash down the line.

: The program is designed to actually
: require your brain and take you
: way deeper than *getting over*
: something. I am going to invite
: you
: to consider having a *beginner's
: mind* and coming back to the steps
: to do them one at a time, in
: order, with our help and counsel
: in mastering them.

: Now, you may decide that you would
: prefer to just go ahead with
: *Cael's* program which is fine by
: me, but it sure won't give you
: what the actual one will give you.

: Warmly,

: Kathleen
