At age 52, I decided I wanted to live. I attend OA meetings and I follow the food addicts anonymous food plan. It took me one year to lose 125 pounds. I have kept it off now for one year. The book that saved my life is called Food addiction -The body knows by Kay Sheppard. It includes the food addicts anonymous food plan and answered all my questions about food addiction.

blackcat, way to go and thanks for the post of encouragement.

Congratulations on breaking out of the addiction cycle! You should be SO proud of yourself and your success!

Thanks all. I hope my story will encourage other people. Food addiction is a serious condition and I thank God each day for my abstinence.
