In 12 Step circles that is called Step One, "my life has become unmanageable". Step Zero is, "This ****'s gotta stop" LOL! I hit Bottom and kept excavating.

The findings of this study do not surprise me one bit. While I am able to eat complex carbs and whole natural foods (even potatoes) without ramifications, should I put a cookie in my mouth I have to deal with the aftermath, which is jonesing for more before I'm even finished with the first cookie. I find it truly best to simply abstain. I don't always, but I know in the long run it's the best choice. Consider me a slow learner - or just plain stubborn! LOL!

Food addicts have known this for years - LOL! Nothing new to them (to me).
