There's a prayer in the "Big Book" of Alcoholics Anonomous that really resonates with me. Here's the part I repeat over and over to myself when I need strength and courage, "Relieve me of the bondage of self. ..... Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help... of [the] power... of [this] way of life." I've changed and/or left a few words out to make it more applicable to this particular struggle, my struggle with food.

"True comfort is to be found in the balance and sanity of abstinence. So deep and pure is this comfort that it is well worth whatever trouble or pain I might have to pass through to attain it." (For Today, p.253)

Still lots left in boxes in the garage. I'm almost done unpacking my kitchen. My fridge is filled with veggies and nothing non-McDougall made the move. I feel really good. Thank you so much for all your help and support. The weight of all the problems from my old house have been lifted and I have hope for my financial (and emotional) future.
How are you doing? Are the kids back in school? Are you back to your old routine?
