Thank you for sharing HOPE! :)

: Hi Kathy
: After I got my food steady, a lot of
: my spikey behaviors faded away on
: their own. For instance, my
: compulsive shopping just stopped,
: one day I realized I hadn't been
: doing it. And I stopped getting
: into bad relationships, which
: caused a lot of drama in my life.
: I was able to break out of one
: that was very spikey. Then I dated
: someone for a long time, but
: without falling into all my old
: patterns that set me up for
: disaster. We dated for a long time
: but never really got serious, and
: it was a very healing time for me.

: So a lot of it will clear up once
: food is steady. Then if you still
: have some issues, you can try
: therapy. I know therapy wouldn't
: have worked for me before doing
: the food - no matter what I did,
: the biochemistry held me back and
: I couldn't get past it. I read so
: many self help books, but couldn't
: do anything that was in them. But
: after I was steady, I began to be
: able to apply some of what I had
: read, because I wasn't trapped in
: biochemical patterns.
