[fast5] Re: Hi, everyone!

Hi, Linda.

I'm also new and I like this way of life, too.

It is working for me at many levels; my blood sugars are getting better AND now they seem to be leveling out as well, with less spiking with meals (that must be the improved insulin sensitivity). I'm losing weight. Emotionally, it is a relief -- less anxiety about when, what and how much to eat, and no fighting with myself to speak of. I don't fight about whether to eat during the day, I just don't do it. 5:00 is always around the corner.

It also works for me spiritually.

I hope to be living like this a very long time. Sure, there are challenges, but the benefits are there for me in spades.

Kathryn

Today, I have not eaten yet and I'm feeling strong - for a change. I will only have time for a quick dinner when I get home from work, as tonight is my bowling night.

The only problem I'm having today is that I'm feeling a little hungry right now (@ almost 5 pm) I know after a week, I'll be okay, but let me tell you -- I've been totally out of control for the past 2 months, I'm actually afraid to get on the scale. Frankly, I don't need the scale to tell me I've gained weight - my clothes tell me that. Early this morning (about 3-ish) I woke up with acid reflux for the second morning in a row. So I gave myself a good talking-to. Hope I can stay strong.

I'll be setting up some short-term goals over the weekend - and, yes, I will step on that scale before Monday.
