So this is day 6 of step one for me, and I find myself in uncharted territory. I, like many sugar sensitive people, am usually an all-or-nothing person. If I am on a program (or diet), I am doing it to perfection - all in. In RR, we don't go "all in" all at once. We methodically work each step until we have mastered it before we move on.

I am finding myself having to compartmentalize step one from the rest of my day (e.g. okay, I had breakfast as instructed, but now I'm going to have my not-so-healthy evening "snack(s).")

It feels strange...out of my comfort zone, but I am taking this as a good sign because NOTHING else in my 50 years of dieting has worked permanently, and I am hopeful that this strange new thing just might be the answer.

Even though I am on step one, I am looking ahead to step two by being aware of how I feel when I have certain foods. Happily, I have physically stopped craving sweets (in just 6 days) I think because of breakfast and the amount of protein/complex carbs I have been eating each day. I know that continuing to eat the sweets must be my emotional attachment to them (and habits too).

I look forward to the day when I will no longer emotionally crave sweet foods and the stability that I know will be mine if I stick with this.

Thank you all for listening and for your support.
