: Allison thank you so much for your
: response! Yes, I agree on the
: jumping right in, I'm being really
: gentle with myself, remembering
: it's progress not perfection and
: the real reason I am here - I want
: to improve my relationship with
: food because I do not want to live
: the rest of my life obsessed with
: food (what I ate, what I'm going
: to eat, what I can't eat, so on
: and so on....). If I could get
: credits for "diets" I
: would be a PHD and I have to say
: Dr. DesMaisons approach is the
: most reasonable, gentle and
: logical food book I have ever
: read. The concept of this being a
: bio-chemical issue instead (or
: shall I say combined with) an
: emotional issue blew my mind and
: it shouldn't have. I have been in
: recovery from alcohol for 4 years,
: Without much effort, I went from a
: woman who with high-risk obesity
: to normal weight for the very
: first time in my life (at 38!). I
: thought "wow, those beer
: calories really added
: up"...but now I see it was
: the cycle. Drink, eat ravenously,
: drink, repeat. Anyhow - I've gone
: on much too long! THANK YOU

You made me smile, girfriend!
Congratulations on your sobriety.

So happy you are here.
