Thanks so much, Allison.
Your encouragement is very meaningful for me

Looking at my food objectively is a very new approach for me. It would normally have been more of a kicking myself in the butt, leading to low self-esteem, leading to more bingeing.

I think that having been on a mostly-steady 9 month stretch on the program
has given me enough mental and emotional stability to be able to be objective and "scientific" about falling off and then getting back on track

I will tell you a joy dot: Moved a radio/cd player from living room to my kitchen counter to listen to music as I cook. Have left the radio on, it's been playing music all day and DH is having an uplifting day too
