Pat, I was rereading what you wrote. I wanted to go back to your question
of what am I doing wrong? :h11)

You have been bingeing and you have gained 16 pounds. The only *wrong* is
your assigning the problem to the program rather than the bingeing :h4)

The program is what will heal you. What you have been doing hasn't been working.
But as step 3 gets settled the bingeing will stop. It always does. If you don't believe me,
ask on the step 3 list. Ask tonight at chat :h12)

And if your heart specialist is concerned, you can tell him that you are working on a weight loss program that
will HEAL your body.
