I appreciate your blog because I can learn about the program without having to feel pressured by the things in the program which would trigger me to rebel! <br /><br />Plus, you make such a good example of the arguement for abstinance that I feel much more solid in the choices I have made along those lines.<br /><br />So service to others? You can check that one on the list of steps!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768569658001165651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071839274179654926.post-91688887826324808352010-11-03T16:16:32.679-07:002010-11-03T16:16:32.679-07:00PeacefulBird, you are right on, all except one thi...PeacefulBird, you are right on, all except one thing. You have been of enormous service to me. (And I'm sure to others.) How, you ask? Your willingness to "let it all hang out" here, let us inside you head, feel your pain and your progress, has laid down a template to follow. It has made it seem possible to take a good, mature look at myself, and take action on it. Of course, other factors have come into play for me, but you came along as a mentor at just the right moment for me. You may be happy to know I've avoided my "trigger foods" (bread, butter, anything made of flour or sugar) since January 11th. I am free of the cravings, I see it but it doesn't speak to me any longer. You can take part of the credit for that. My cholesterol has dropped 60 points, the scale has dropped 35 pounds. I'm happier, and know that abstinence will be a lifestyle for me, one that I am content with. You, Peacefulbird, can take a lot of the credit. Thank you. <br /><br />With much admiration,<br /><br />T.

Yo...This was very interesting; thanks for sharing. You probably can imagine that I was thinking of myself and some of my own problem foods when I read about your abstinence. I love that you gave no thought the to the bakery items and that you don't dread the coming holidays:)Karenhttp://www.waistingtimeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071839274179654926.post-11271663486380074962010-11-03T04:15:50.992-07:002010-11-03T04:15:50.992-07:00OA - very good for you!
And the slips?
That's ...OA - very good for you!<br />And the slips?<br />That's just feedback....<br />about what works and what doesn't work as well...<br />Good, too that the dread is gone!Anne Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435482289459434828noreply@blogger.com
