Hi, Mike, read what you said and I can relate, of course. It's hard to get one's head straight about deciding to do with less food for a long enough while to make "progress". Frankly, I don't think it's ever an eager task, but for me, when I got low enough, I decided it was the better of the two kinds of experience I could be having. The food wasn't really helping much, kind of just making me feel I hated myself - which likely wasn't all about food or weight, even, but easy to blame that. Like you say, this is a compelling issue not easily eradicated, only tamed with great effort. Kind of like a jack-in-the-box in my life.
