: Hi Fiona,

: I'm not the wonderful mosaic ,
: but I'll chime in here on your
: question.
: Yes, I no longer eat white things and
: sugar. I've been on step 7 for
: many years
: and don't miss a thing. The physical
: cravings go away, and emotions
: stabilize so
: emotional eating isn't such a big
: thing. And there are substitutes
: easily made for
: special foods. Most of all, I get to
: choose every day to feel my best
: and so eat foods
: that make me feel balanced, healthy
: and strong.

: The other day I saw some family
: members eating big gooey chocolate
: chip cookies and just smiled
: because I had no interest in
: eating any. Sure it would still
: taste good, but there's no
: separating eating it from the
: fallout of chaotic emotions,
: addiction back to sugar, bad
: feelings inside, sleepiness and
: sick feeling, And I had a
: delicious bowl of black bean chili
: with avocado to fill me up.

: And if I really wanted a cookie for
: the gooey texture, I could make
: one myself with unsweetened carob
: chips and whole grain flour and no
: sweetener, but it didn't matter
: that much to me. I was just, as
: always, grateful to notice and to
: be free of the compulsion to eat
: sweets and free of the feeling of
: missing something if I didn't.

: This program is life changing. Please
: keep going with the steps.
