I wish I had read this yesterday before I went off on a mindless binge.

So since I can control the physical cravings, I might as well do that so I can focus on the emotional stuff more fully.<br />There is also scientific evidense that wheat and gluten causes many kinds of mental illness including schizophrenia and depression disorders. Wheat and gluten are also known to make autism symptoms worse. And what have we had more of in the last twenty years since the beginning of the low fat craze? Yep, overweight, depression, autism and mental disorders of all kinds. I think we may have a problem with wheat and carbs, but I dont think we are in the minority.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-51065790186860852492010-01-13T20:45:21.432-08:002010-01-13T20:45:21.432-08:00Hi, Loretta!

Again, a post that calls my name. :) Rest assured that even tho I am doing the moderate eating plan, I am NOT eating anything I want but in moderation! <br /><br />I just can't. I must keep an extremely close eye on the carbs. Having that birthday cake on the 11th--which I KNEW I shouldn't have--has made for a very difficult couple of days. I'm having so much trouble resisting the food that is calling my name again--and I had been doing so well! I could just spit. <br /><br />Like I said in a recent post--it is obvious that I "ain't free yet." But, onward and forward! Victory is in our reach!

I would be scared for my physical health and give in to the media hype / ever present info about gastric bypass or lap band surgery and start looking in to it and checking into my insurance benefits. Then the real despair began. I knew that this was a quick fix only with a lot of potential complications that would in the end be a huge mistake because it was really all about food addiction, habits, emotional eating. I have Dr Phils book and many others , but I just probably wasn't ready to receive the info then . I'll check it out again.<br />Thanks for reading my blog and your support.PJ Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16550278783075004470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-74222004307657476042010-01-13T20:03:20.492-08:002010-01-13T20:03:20.492-08:00P.S. - I gave you a blog award :)P.S. - I gave you a blog award :)financecupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781586611582887524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-17400642074997269632010-01-13T20:02:53.544-08:002010-01-13T20:02:53.544-08:00This post makes me want to hug you.

Getting the physical cravings under control must be amazing. I'm going to read the Dr. Phil book after this quarter at school. You make it sound great, and Dr. Phil is Dr. Phil, so the book must be awesome. I always love reading your quotes for the day. :)financecupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781586611582887524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-79219231293364956422010-01-13T18:22:40.330-08:002010-01-13T18:22:40.330-08:00CHRIS: Binge o rama... that is so funny!!

It took me a lot of years to really get it, and DO it, but I never forgot the lady named Barbara that first said it to me. I've lost touch with her now, but you never know how or when our influence on someone will bloom.<br /><br />MARY: " I believe in you." Thank you Mary, that means a lot to me.<br /><br />SUNNY: Thanks for the invite, Sunny, I will try to carve out time. :-)<br /><br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-68759767749307677602010-01-13T17:50:33.166-08:002010-01-13T17:50:33.166-08:00Come visit my blog today!

We all have different needs and poisons. I believe in you.<br /><br />You know it's what I say, too. Keep going. No matter what. If you stumble, keep going. If you fall backwards, keep going. <br /><br />It's not about being perfect. If you fall and come back because you want to, that is a bigger victory. :)antgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292057889814780426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-17065777014727068602010-01-13T16:48:50.425-08:002010-01-13T16:48:50.425-08:00It is 90 percent mental and 10 percent implementat...It is 90 percent mental and 10 percent implementation...absolutely, once you have your mind right...everything else follows.<br />We are on the same journey...<br />white flour and white sugar does the same thing for me...<br />binge o ramaChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708815560712267698noreply@blogger.com
