What's working now:
1. Abstaining for the WIN!!!!

So, so, so incredibly grateful for Food Sober Living the last month. I've recovered from the shingles almost 95%. I need to bring my upper body strength back online and a few skin areas to heal up.

I'm being very mindful to get back to my normal self and not let food addiction back into my life. If there's anything I have learned it's that I can take one or two bites and have a lapse after a big illness or life stressor. So, I remain food sober.

And for that, I am very grateful. Thanks for anyone in the past that has helped me abstain. Kudos.

What didn't work in the past

1. Moderating all food within a point value. Calories in Calories out really did nothing to keep me food sober. In fact, it kept me in food addiction for far too long.

Graphs, got them!  You  can see the Shingles 1-2 pound bump! LOL. Posted by Karen at 8:58 AM Labels: food sobriety, LCHF for food addiction, LCHF for weight maintenance, long term weight maintenance, paleo food template in weight maintenance
