Welcome back, KirAnn. Breakfast is a great thing to focus on.

As far as the journal is concerned, for those of us who are sugar sensitive, taking care of ourselves means we can focus on others better. Before the program, my focus was almost entirely inward because I was so unhappy. So by focusing on my program, now I am not living entirely in my own head and can be there for others.

I also think it's a very wise thing to only share about the program with people who are supportive.

: Hello everybody. I am returning to
: the program to focus on Step One.
: Previously my focus was on the
: protein and gram counting, but I
: realize my actual problem is
: rebelling against routine. And if
: someone else tells me to get
: organized, or to do things a
: certain way, or to follow 7 steps!
: I rebel even more. So I am doing
: One Step Only, and allowing the
: rebellious internal voices about
: the other 6 steps to have their
: say instead of trying to argue
: with them.
: There are some external negative
: voices as well. Someone close to
: me years ago said I was
: self-absorbed for keeping the
: food/mood journal . It was
: devastating in my fragile state,
: and I quit the program. Today I
: will only be sharing my journey
: with supportive people, like here
: on the forum.
: Thanks for listening.
