I don't really know where I start.

*deep breath*

I've been on the program for three months. I am on step 5. I find myself eating almost as much sugar as I used to before this program. I get anxious and scared about the thought of eating a meal and not eating sugar afterwards because I don't want to miss out on that opportunity to be able to eat sugar and have to wait until my next mealtime. Anyone else having this problem? I feel exhausted all day, every day, although it's not as bad as it was before the program. A huge problem for me right now is that I've been sleeping in too late and having my breakfast too late, which destroys my energy level for the rest of the day.

I've decided to wait until mid-November to cut out sugar. I'm visiting my parents for a week at that time and they are much more understanding of my sugar addiction than the people I live with right now. I don't know how I'm going to make it that long, though. I have fleeting thoughts of wanting to cut out sugar RIGHT NOW every single day. These thoughts are getting more and more frequent as my energy levels drop more and more because of being desperate to get in as much sugar as I can at mealtime and before cutting it all out. Does anyone else have this problem?

Lastly, I'm getting wary of the potato, unfortunately. I looked back on an email exchange between me and Kathleen during my first attempt. I talked about how I discovered that on evenings where I ate the potato, I would wake up at about 2 in the morning and not be able to get back to sleep. When I took out the potato, I slept wonderfully. Back then, Kathleen suggested it was because I was skipping steps, which I was, so it made sense. This time, I've been following the program to a tee and going oh so slowly (aside from eating breakfast too late, as I mentioned, but this problem persists even on days I've been eating breakfast at a good time) But, I'm having the same exact problem again. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you deal with it?
