Hi Jane. Welcome back!
Allison

: Hello everyone it Jane here. Best
: wishes to you all

: I used to be part of this forum and
: in sugar addiction recovery
: 18 years ago, omg while
: I was living in Singapore. I am
: back home living in Scotland, I
: have 2 children the youngest being
: 14 the oldest is 19 and he is at
: university studying Psychology.
: I divorced my husband years ago, He
: thought I was his personal maid,
: and he had that maid for life,
: wrong, I take full responsibility
: though, for being in that
: situation and letting someone
: treat me like that.
: Anyways the past 3 years I have been
: healing from my abusive,
: neglectful childhood. Both my
: parents were very self absorbed
: they had 3 kids and didn't want
: anything to to with us.
: My mother was always wound up to the
: max around us she was aggressive,
: manipulative, violent, my father
: was not around us much but when he
: was he was violent and scary.
: My older brother would verbally abuse
: me daily telling me I was ugly and
: stupid and my poor sister who had
: special needs was was frequently
: traumatized by my dads aggression.
: So all these childhood experiences
: shaped me into the adult I became
: who was someone who didn't have
: any self worth and was on a
: mission to self destruction, then
: I married an alcoholic who would
: go on to treat me the same way my
: parents did. I had been
: conditioned to be the underdog and
: do as I was told.
: But as I said already I have been
: working hard to turn myself
: around. digging deep to get to the
: pain then healing it. Its been a
: sometimes difficult and sometimes
: joyful journey and I'm still in
: the process, its on going.

: MY life is awesome now, I only work
: part time as a healthcare
: assistant and I am at college full
: time studying Art and Design,
: something I've wanted to do for
: years. Which has exceeded my
: expectations, I'm loving it
: I have created a network of loving
: supportive friends, I have no
: money issues or worries in fact I
: have an abundance to take from
: when needed, but at 51 years old I
: now know the the money is nothing
: compared to the joy of seeing your
: family happy and healthy or taking
: a walk along a beach or a stroll
: up a peaceful hill at sunset.
: So I am fully ready to do the steps
: once again and completely cut out
: the toxic waste that is on offer
: to us daily. I have been eating
: breakfast with protein all week
: and its amazing how much my
: stomach has went down, I have been
: bloated and ill with it for quite
: a while and I have not been this
: heavy in my life.

: Its great to have this support here
: and I hope get some yummy recipes
: too I do have the radiant recipe
: book somewhere in the house xxx
