See, and today I feel completely stuffed eating less! Go figure! Strange how that happens...

I *tentatively* seem to have figured out why I've been having (non-exercise-related) attacks all the time. Back when I first started to really stabilize, I started my day with a slice of bread, and then waited an hour to eat breakfast, rather than just jumping in and eating first thing. I stopped that habit when I started counting calories, because I didn't want the extra 100-120 calories first thing in the morning. That makes total sense!

Well, the past few days I've gone back to eating my bread in the morning, and guess what? No attacks! Yah!! I also realized that I most often have attacks when I eat to the point of being quite full, but only in the morning... so I cut my portion of oatmeal in half (I now eat a half-serving with fruit). PERFECT!! I'm still eating roughly the same calories, but I feel SO much better. Oh, I'm so happy to hear this!!

Sooo... tomorrow I'm going to risk an attack and try one of my workouts again, to see if the exercise is really to blame or if I just solved the problem by changing the way I eat. Let us know what happens (or not)...
