9 POUNDS!

YEP, 9 pounds in 6 days! Very very happy about that.

What I have learned in 6 days without the option of sugar or processed food:
a. I really do eat for pleasure, to ease transitions, for comfort, to relieve stress
b. I want to eat at times that I am not even hungry
c. I am a sugar addict
d. I am a compulsive eater, definitely. I have known this all along, but finally able to admit it

I can't wait to go to another OA meeting. I need a sponsor, like yesterday. I have felt the urge to eat sweets a couple times this week and it was when I saw deserts and when I was transitioning from one activity to another in my day. So, I need someone to help me with this. I also want to ask them, "Does this mean I will NEVER get to eat cheesecake anymore in my life?" and for the first time ever, if they say "no" then I am willing to strive for that because I want to be well bad enough to even give up cheesecake.

My son made the A/B Honor Roll today! First time ever. I am so proud of his little self, I don't know how to show it!

Having insomnia tonight. Don't know why. Isn't eating right supposed to give you more energy and better sleep? Well, that part hasn't kicked in yet. I think I might still be going through withdrawals because my headaches, while not as bad, still pop up occasionally.
