AS BILL SEES IT, Question 16a

What is your opinion of the 24-hour concept?

Whoever came up with this idea (they had to be one of us) was brilliant.

I can do something, if it's only for 24 hours.  If I have to think about doing it for the rest of my life, it's the surest way to discourage me from wanting to continue.

When I was told I needed to give up sugar and flour, it seemed daunting.  I couldn't comprehend how I  would do it - how could I for a day, let alone a lifetime?

My sponsor and the people helping me, broke it down into time increments.  All I had to worry about was what I was going to do that day.  I was told to "plan what I eat and eat what I plan."  It was that simple.  They helped me to figure out what foods were safe for me to eat and then do it one day at a time.

I've been able to do it for most of the last twenty eight years.  It works if you work it.
