Guest guest Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I would like to respond to this. I have struggled with food and weight my whole life. I have done weight watchers, vegan diet, low carb diet and the trad food diet. But somehow I always managed to either regain more weight than I had lost or not lose weight. ..I was off of sugar for 10 years in my 20's and then decided that I could go back to sugar and managed to gain and diet and lose and gain all the way up to my top weight of 140 pounds overweight..I would go to experts (dieticians, nutritionists, etc) but always found myself back to organic cookies and cheetos.no matter how much bison, pastured bacon and raw milk I ate. I still found TWIX and ice cream calling my name. In early March by the hand of my Higher Power I ended up going thru food treatment at COR: http://cormn.org/ and can share with you that I am now 92 days abstinent from compulsive overeating which for me includes being sugar free and turning my food over to my sponsor and my GOD each day and 23 pounds that I have let go of. I am sharing this just in case there is another me out there that for them it is not about what you eat but about a painful relationship with food and feeling out of control..I cannot tell you how wonderful it is for me that I can finally follow the TRAD food diet which includes full fat dairy and pork and sprouted nuts and at times a sprouted corn tortilla. I thank all of you on this list who have helped me get to where I am. If any of you would like to talk more please contact me offlist. And to my friends out there be prepared for me to lose another 100 pounds...LOVE kjp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Kathy-jo, Thank you so much for sharing this! I know there are many of us trad foodies who know what to do, but are held back in some way by sugar or soda or other addictions. You are truly inspiring! t On Jun 5, 2012, at 3:06 PM, Kathy-jo <kaje62@...> wrote: > I would like to respond to this. I have struggled with food and weight > my whole life.
