: 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.

: Healing is grand

Hey Kathleen and Chloe: Again, thank you so much for responding. Kathleen, I will stay just on breakfast. I mean it, I won't worry about what I'm eating for lunch and dinner and I will continue with what I told you I was having for breakfast. I will trust. Thank you very much! I guess I started feeling guilty about what I was eating when I joined the OA group. My first sponsor dumped me because I was a "chronic slipper". But, learning is a process sometimes. I also am wondering...not wanting to open a can of worms...but, what about the people we live with? And, what if all the wrong food is in the cupboards and in the fridge? Would you say that I will just be focused on my own food? At any rate, I feel pretty good this morning, I'm working on my chores and I have energy. Did the breakfast and added some cheerios at the end. This, I think because I woke up wanting to dive into something to eat, so I had my usual and added some cheerios; but, I really don't feel too awfully guilty.

Thank you,
Annie
