Hi no you are not the only person on the planet who feels this way!!!
Really eat breakfast, come on over to the breakfast group on yahoo.
We add in before we take out.

I want to give you my short version of my healing. I binged on sugars and bread products. I was depressed no self esteem and no self control.
I came with the faith this program would heal me. I believed the ones who had gone before me. I did the steps still binging. I didn’t fight them. I kept thinking they said this would heal. As I did the steps the binges came less often and less amount.
When I reached step 6, one day I realized I had not had sugar, I went and read my journal and realized I had not had sugar for 2 weeks. So I just went forward from there, removing sugar was a non event for me.
Now I am not depressed, think before I speak, do not miss sugar or bread products. I have a wonderful life. I have been doing the program for over 15 years.

So yes this program works.
