What is your reaction to never eating like a normal eater?
When I first started coming to program and heard about members abstaining from specific foods, I was angry. I didn't want anyone to mess with my food - I DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO TAKE MY FIX AWAY. It's because I was active - face first in the food. I had no clarity of mind and nothing to compare my life with. I had no idea what it would be like to live life abstinently.
Then I saw and heard the changes in members who were abstinent. It was a great motivator. I wanted what they had and became willing to do whatever I had to receive what I saw on their faces - joy, peace and serenity.
The journey I've been on since has been very rewarding. As much as I hate CHANGE, my recovery is very important to me. What I once thought was not normal [the new way I learned to eat] has become normal for me: I see no difference anymore between how I eat compared to anyone else.
