Dianne's food plan if anyone is interested...

I do eat the same thing everyday..or essentially...I have read more than once that too much variety leads to binging...the plan is simple for me:

4 oz protein or 6 oz of dairy for breakfast (fat free plain yogurt is what many eat who are long term abstinent) you could have two eggs or egg beaters but any lean protein is acceptable
fruit-6 oz fresh or frozen
starch 30 grams...I do not eat bread...so dry long cooking oatmeal, bran or shredded wheat with bran

lunch: 8 oz potato or sweet potato or winter squash or 40 grams of shredded wheat...makes a good fat free crunch sort of crouton like thing in a salad...I eat shredded wheat daily...
4 oz protein
6 oz salad and 6 oz green vegetable
2 tablespoons salad dressing...I would suggest lower fat..but not fat free ever or oil and vinegar

Dinner ..the same

you can plug in different greens for your salad, cucumbers, spinach, romaine, carrots, etc. or you can have 12 oz of salad which I do often and skip the green vegetable and I get to tons of OA meetings on line, at least two daily, read the literature, OA and AA and have a sponsor and have some women you call too besides your sponsor...work the steps...pretty simple actually...walk for an hour, work out 3 times a week, trust this process..it works with daily application...create a daily routine to get neutrality around the food...I never try to include "alcoholic foods" in my plan...its a set up to fail...if you know you cannot eat it safely, exclude it...its a set up for a binge...read the Doctor's Opinion in the Big Book of AA...when we ingest addictive substances we will set off the phenomenon of craving.. pure physiology baby...a method that will reliably fail...people who constantly relapse do that...its insanity..but that is the insanity of the addict...we are driven back by craving and the need to medicate our emotions with excess food..usually refined carbs ...its classic...it may take a while to work through those cravings..I promise those it will occur if you honesty eliminate them....the cravings diminish and finally stop...then we deal with our "issues" with the steps...and recognize that life can be difficult, people will disappoint us, they will die etc...pain in inevitable... misery is optional...when we dive into the food for relief we add misery to suffering...today I have a choice...

Thanks for the responses on my post...I did this by weighing and measuring food, not weighing myself, having a defined food plan, not eating flour and sugar and going to Overeaters Anonymous meetings on line..meetings are free 24/7/365 from all over the world...most of us on this site no matter what our weights are food addicts...we are different from people who just need to lose a few pounds...many gain and lose the same 20, 30, 40 lbs or more repeatedly...the classic mark of addiction...we can stop but not stay stopped..OA will enable us to stay stopped..many have 40 years plus of recovery...the same weight maintained over decades..that was what I wanted..I was exhausted with the struggle..I could stay thin ...but I was bat shit crazy with the effort..this has been effortless really....try it or call me 386-527-1641 or text..am in Florida...TOGETHER WE GET BETTER OA MANTRA AND WE ARE NEVER ALONE AGAIN WITH THIS MADNESS OF FOOD ADDICTION
