I just can't seem to find anyone in my area that seems to use his model as described above. Am hoping to connect with others who have the same issues. As far as forgetting to eat, I remember to eat far too often!

It's currently driving me insane. I'm having to keep a food journal that not only records WHAT I ate, but WHEN I ate it. Nothing like sitting here working and STARVING, thinking to myself "I should NOT be hungry I just ate...." and then look at the clock to finish the sentence with "...8 hours ago. Wow, maybe I really SHOULD eat something". And don't get me started on the convenience of having a vat of homemade hummus in the house. OH LOOK A KITTEN!
