Just my own personal food for thought.....
Being overweight, I longed to find a solution to my problems. Like so many of us, I tried all the heavily traveled roads ~ the endless means to lose weight and to alleviate my roller coaster eating behaviors. But at the end -- and there was always an end -- of every new "method of weight loss" I returned to walking my old path of destructive emotional overeating. I always went back to the old eating behaviors as well as the consequences of those behaviors. It seemed like the whole world was on the latest fad diet -- diets that I could never continue for more than a few days or weeks.

But now, I now walk a new path and have abandoned the old roads and the diet of the week. I have been on this road nearly a year now, and it is a wonderfully pleasant trek. I indeed believe "I shall be telling this story with a smile, for years and years from now on." I have found an incredible amount of recovery spiritually, emotionally and physically. I am traveling on the path I have made for myself, the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. I am doing this, one day at a time!
