Trust: do you have a real live support type group? There are many for

compulsive eaters (overeaters anonymous ?). Of course we can offer you

" cyberspace " support, but perhaps a group that meets in person might be a

good idea. Take it one day at a time. Stop punishing yourself for

binging. Just get back on track. Heck it took me a good 10 years after

reading Walford's first book to get my rear end in gear and start croning.

Thanks for those remarks, Francesca. I've been lurking for about 2 years and

I'm still not 100% 24 hours a day committed. I am doing much better in that my

food selections are more nutritious than in the past and perhaps trust might

benefit from approaching diet that way rather than caloric restriction at this

point. I know for me this is a process, not an overnight " diet plan " to lose

weight. The goal for me is to reap the health benefits from the " optimal

nutrition " knowing that I shall gradually adopt a more caloric restrictive diet.
