Hi, Kristi. I just wanted to (re) welcome you. I completely understand
the nerves about letting go of the metrics, but you're also totally right that
there's something here that's nowhere else. I too struggle with the
"turning inward" part of this program because it means putting how
*I* feel and what *I* know (like, breakfast works!) above someone
else's idea of what's right for me. It's scary. Like so much about this
program, making that switch seems like a simple behavioral change, but
it has *profound* implications inside.

I often imagine it to myself as the difference between walking a path
someone else made, and feeling safe and secure as long as I'm on
that path, but NOT feeling safe if I put a toe off it -- vs (eventually)
being able to run around in the meadow, knowing I carry my own
safety with me wherever I go.

Maybe a little much first thing in the morning ;), but your post
really spoke to me, so I wanted to greet you as a fellow traveler!

Welcome!
Pam
