It is all a mind thing. We all have allowed eating to become something that it wasn't meant to be, and I am one that let it rule my life. At times, the thoughts still do, and at times, I still fall to the temptation.
The struggle continues, as Nancy will say... packet by packet. You will get stronger as time goes on. As a wise person once said (which originated from a Bible verse I believe), whatever struggle doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
We fight this battle every second, but isn't it nice to know that we have a great system as a tool to fight the good fight. The battles rage on but we will win the war.
Thanks Mike, you just saved me a few minutes of typing. My situation exactly! Yes we will win the war!
