Wow. That is very interesting. I can believe that though. It's amazing what affect food can have on one's mood. I'm on step 1 right now. I've been on recovery before...usually I fumble at step 2 or 3 and I end up starting over. Every experience is a learning experience though.

: Hi Tiffany,

: This reminds me of something that
: happened to one of my daughters as
: we were going through the steps.
: She was still having sugar, but it
: was with meals, and it was a
: pretty small amount. We had gone
: out to dinner with Grandma, and
: she ate a lot more of the dessert
: than she had initially planned to.
: On the way out of the restaurant,
: she burst into tears. It was one
: of those *instant* food / mood
: moments. And I have had the same
: thing happen.

: Anyway, yes, that is our sugar
: addiction, and even though it is
: not fun, I have always found
: reminders helpful and motivating.
: What step are you on?
