- welcome back!

[Guest guest]

Hi !

I remember you from when you were on here before! Glad to see you

back now. Sorry to hear that you had such a stressful time of it

earlier this year. Don't beat yourself up over falling back into old

habits, it's happened to many people. What counts is what you do

about it from now on, and it sounds like you are on the right track.

I recommend that you re-read the BFL book and do the Crossing the

Abyss question/answer sections. Then set your goals from there and

read them twice per day without fail. Goal-setting is the single

most common factor in sucess stories, both in BFL and in life.

Eat clean and train hard. You will do great.

a " new member " again.

> Amy, I understand about stress and have a solution that works for

myself as well as my family. It is Acidophilus. Since taking this

herb on a daily basis, some of my kids and I have stopped getting

sick, and let me tell you we are surrounded by it. I have some kids

that don't take it every morning, and they catch the daily/weekly

school bug, and some of the kids do take it and don't get sick. It

used to be that if one person got sick then the other six would soon

follow. Not anymore!

> A little background on me and where I am with BFL. I started

01/01/01 and completed a successful Challenge 1. I made great

progress. I took a week off and then tried to get going again with

C2. I lasted about 3 weeks and then my life started to fall apart. I

won't go into any detail as I don't want to bore anyone nor seem like

I'm looking for sympathy. Anyway, I've gained back all that I lost

and then some. Tells me how well I don't handle stressful events in

my life. Maybe I just had one too many.

> Anyway, I want so much to get back into this way of life, get back

into the food, get back into feeling good! Sleeping through the

night, and all the other benefits of this program. I'm just having a

hard time motivating myself. Exercising hasn't been a problem. I

faithfully wake up every day at 4:45 and do my cardio or weights.

However I did stop for a couple of months during the summer.

> It has been wonderful reading all the notes the last couple of days

and to see so much support on this list again. I hope you can welcome

me back into your family and help me get started again.
