To all of you on this forum. We can do this with each others help and support. Each day is a new start; and another chance at improving what might have been a bad day for us. Remember that we are creatures of habit. The habits that we have had for years are not going to disappear over night. We all have them or we wouldn't be here trying to loose weight and help one another out. I am a foodaholic. Food is love,comfort,and the way I deal with added stress. I came from the clean your plate club. Food was a a way to show love and make sure that that my generation did not go hungry. My parents lived through the depression and went hungry @ times. My parents vowed that their children would never suffer the same fate. Every day I count my blessing that I have not binged; If I slip I try to figure out what triggered it. There are certain foods that I can not keep in the house because they beckon me.I am fortunate that I don't crave sweets. My weakness is carbs like potatoes, sphagetti; and breads. I hope that someone out there can relate to this and seek me out for their bad days and I can encourage them because I know EXACTLY how they feel. Thank you for listening.
