Also, I found out what my problem with juice is: I WAS over-consuming it. Sorry, RRM, you told me that, but I didn't believe you. I'd make a batch of juice, and add a lot of oil (I've really gotten used to the olive oil-with-fruit taste and can stomach quite a lot of olive oil). I thought adding more rather than less would be safer for my blood sugar. But then I would drink a LOT of the juice right away, because fresh squeezed juice is so yummy! All that olive oil would give me a drop in energy, which I took as a sign to drink more (much too soon). Since I was drinking too much sugar as well, I would start to develop an aversion to the juice. This aversion would last well into the sugar low I got later (which I took as another sign to drink more, even though it wasn't tasting as good), which started the cycle again. I ended up shaky with low blood sugar and very angry at my glass of juice.

Breastfeeding is helping, since my metabolism is on fire! So is chanting; it helps me become more aware, in the present.
Does anyone else feel like they've only been half 'there' for most of their lives?
