((((MB)))) thanks for the support! I too think that the positive addiction will be my answer. Addiction to well-being, to feeling good about how my clothes fit, to being able to flow with the ups and downs of our everyday lives... that to me is the healthiest addiction I can imagine.
I went grocery shopping yesterday and avoided the snack department entirely. It was a lonely experience without my chips and pretzels in the cart, but I have spent some time doing veggie and fruit preparation so I have healthier snacks at hand. It is definitely something I have to approach with a day-to-day success expectation. How am I doing today? Not, how am I ever going to get thru the holiday season without gaining even more weight?? I find that if I think that far ahead, I anticipate that I'll be getting fatter anyway and what's the difference if I eat another handful of (whatever).
That this is something I'll never get to grips with is a scary thought.
