HI Donotquit and welcome, I see you have started a journal I'll pop on over soon
You dont sound preachy at all, you have been on to your problem for a long while by the sound if it
I was slower to click on to why I have no control around certain foods and just blammed myself for being sooo 'weak' and 'pathetic'. Now I dont think it has anything to do with willpower beyond getting started, its all chemical stuff going on inside
Ive never felt like overeating a food that didnt taste sweet that I can remember, hmm then again nice fresh almonds are pretty moreish
