Also, as far as food addiction goes.....sure, we need to eat to be healthy and fit, but that doesn't mean that we need to eat the non-nutritious stuff that is what causes the addiction - mainly refined sugar and flour. Those substances keep the cravings alive and they aren't even needed for health and fitness, anyway. I've found that when I focus on whole foods and eliminate the addictive substances that life is much better. ;) @Susan, thanks, it's a much better feeling and can only lead to more good flowing in from the Universe. Yeah, dropping the weight is awesome, but now it's not a circumstance that I need in order to be happy. :) Thanks for the congrats, too! @M, no, I don’t think that the emotional eating must always be there….I’m only in week 2 of my 12-weeks but I’m learning that this is about healing the emotional eating.
