Yahoo...now I had to write on the 1st step and I realized how much being powerless over food is like all the people I have let control me in my life and how I allowed them through the years to tell me how I shouldn't and should be. All the shoulds, oughts and supposed toos. Until I worked another program around that and today can stand up to them and I am not powerless.
Food is like that I just realized today its like the people that tried to control me. Each food item that I crave is like a person trying to over power me.
Not sure if this makes any sense but when you come from a place of low low low low the lowest selfesteem and have had to fight to get above water it all makes sense.
In any case does just help to spill my guts here cause it sure brings things out.
Take care all and thanks for listening!!!!

It makes total sense. Most people have to realize that food can control people just as much as alcohol or any other drug. It is such a tough thing to rise above. I definitely found that the more I kept talking about my progress the more it helps. I hope to keep hearing from you.
