Hi Annie,

It is nice to have you back.
This is really not about *control *: h11) or about restriction or abstinence.
We are offering you healing. The way to stop is to stop thinking about what
you have to give up and to start thinking about what you can add in to help your
body heal. It really is sort of the opposite of what you have been doing.

Rather than trying to figure it all out, how about just working on breakfast.
Can you start with that? Do you know the 4 parts? What are you having now?

Can you talk about breakfast?
