Re: Re: Struggling to ER4YT!!

I found that if I made myself start the day off right, with protein and no

carbs (I needed to have no carbs back when I started), the entire day went

better. (Now I have a slice of Ezekiel bread with almond butter and my

protein food.) So, I stocked up on breakfast foods that were appropriate

for me and let that be my first new good habit. I also still drink black

tea, and I let that be my " bad girl " food (even though it doesn't seem to

affect me badly... can't figure out what it is if it does).

I found that if my breakfast was in compliance, it would be easier for me to

choose a good lunch, so I worked on that next. Same with dinner, but over

months, not days or weeks. But I find that the foods that I found to be

particularly difficult to " give up " were the ones that I now have no desire

to eat (wheat, dairy, corn). I still eat chocolate, though, in moderation

and after a good protein meal. We need to eat to live, not live to eat.

Baby steps work best.

Hope this helps,
