RE: compulsive eating!!! HELP

June 27, 2006

Joyce,

I came to the conclusion a few months ago that I had a food addiction.

I started " attending " online OA meetings, gave up all wheat, flour and

sugar in any form. Since then I've lost 35 pounds and have dropped my

A1C from 8.8 to 5.6 and my LDL from 180 down to 76. It's a very

difficult day to day journey. Sometimes minute to minute :-)

What I've found is that the longer I go without these substances in my

body the better I feel and the less cravings I have. I recently

allowed my self to get overstressed at work and " fell off the wagon "

so I am in the process of trying to get back on track. The first few

days are killer but if you can make it through it DOES get much

easier. Hope this helps!

I totally forgot about the on line OA program. I wasn't aware there were on

line meetings though. Could you either on list or privately to me give me

the info I need to join a meeting? diabetes under control for the moment,

but now need to do something about cholesterol stuff and don't want to take

any more meds.

thanks

JUDITH
