Thanks for sharing and the kind words.

The MOST important thing, I think, is UNDERSTANDING yourself. Doesn't mean we miraculously "change" overnight, or even develop the WILL to "change." It's just being honest as to why we do the things we do.

That's half the battle.

You seem to be there.

Now, daily, is the chore to "reinvent" that will, until it becomes ingrained. And it CAN become ingrained. And one day, without even realizing it, you make all the right choices without a lot of effort and with no feeling of being deprived. And then, by all the good graces, might have a chance at staying that way! We have to really want to.

I wish you the very best!
