I had to say it out loud but that seemed to work. I said, "I am not going to eat that" and I didn't!! There were witnesses and I felt like if I said it out loud I would be held more accountable. It worked for me in that moment.

Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m new to the group. I’m a bit shy at interacting or sharing personal stuff on group forums. I’m hoping in time it’ll become easier on here to do.

Hi! I'm organising myself for when I start this and interested in sugar free sauces to add to meats and make food a little less 'plain'. any ideas?

Wish me luck any tips appreciated

Hello! I'm Melony. I've been a food/sugar addict for the majority of my life. I have spent my time and resources on trying to get out of this pit, everything from inpatent help when I was young, to multiple dits, books and program, even to the extreme of bariatric surgery. Nothing has "stuck" long term. In the past 6 years, I have been involved in two different 12-step programs where I have found incredible growth and healing many areas and yet I still not been able/willing to surrender sugar/flour/artificial sweeteners. I am finally at the understanding that I must if I want true freedom. So, I am excited to find others on the journey out. 🙂
