[quote=desiree;713853]Thanks for all your insight, and your opinions, and for reassuring me I am on the right track, You know normally when dieting and exercising you have a bit of control, but when I jumped into this MRM program I kinda lost that and just a tad scared of the unknown??? But I am going to get thru this, then get some fat off, Then start all over the right way!!

I am going to order one of those gadgets, but during the MRM program it does not matter as much what you exercise or how much you are burning compared to making sure you get your calories in and to keep increasing the calories in program stages right? So the little gadget is more to have an idea for the future, right?

Yes, and I feel like that what the poster below said about an assurance is 100% on point. When you find you lean towards these kinds of extremes and frustrations I think that information is your best weapon to either keep you from having to go to extreme or to put the extreme you choose to go to anyway right in your face for you to have to accept.

Tomorrow I am suppose to increase by 15% and start doing a little cardio etc. Almost scared to--never thought I would say that? But I just don't want to stress out my adrenals in any way---I feel I am on the way to recovery and Gosh it has been such a long road, don't want to do this again!! But even though I am kinda tipping the scales the wrong way--I should stick to the way the plan is written right?

I would stick to the plan if I were you yes. This is not a quick fix. There is the physical and hormonal battles and then there are really aggressive and tougher mental battles. Take it one step at a time and just remember that the more you cheat rest, the more you cheat yourself.
You might enjoy this article. It is short and simple, but it has helped some see rest and recovery a little different that I have point it to.

I will start measuring everything again, does not bother me I have been doing it for years, just with a little less in my cup, hahah!!

Like I said I only suggest this for the short term when excess regain could halt your results. No need to push it.

The one thing I have notices in being glucose intolerant is it is a little harder to stick with low glycemic foods, corn, gluten free bread, etc seems to be a little higher, does that really matter right now? I though I read some where that when your stress levels are off, that your insulin tends to be off as well??

It is going to take a while for all of that to balance back out, that is why in the program I do it in sections do that the after effect is as little as possible. Still it will take beyond the program sometimes for you to balance out. The best thing to do is to just pair your meals wisely and ease in. The point is to not binge and to ease food in properly so you don't feel it on large levels.
Hope that helps and I highly recommend getting support from the girls around here. Naive, Scribess, Julie Keen, and Etana are just a few who I have seen write some great things to help people out with these types of issues. There is a great support system here so use these forums, even start a log, and hopefully these will keep moving in the right direction.
