I think the surrender is a little scary at first. I remember being on step 6 and realizing
that if I didn't binge on sugar and instead ate consistent meals, then my weight would be
out of my "control." No more dieting, bingeing. It's diving into a new way of being. It's
scary at first to let go of drugs, of what I thought gave me control over my body and feelings.
It was a loss. But the feeling passed. I wouldn't trade it back. I still feel relief every day, years later.
I believe you both can get it. Keep up those good breakfasts and build from there. It gets so much
better.
