Focus on your progress – not perfection! There is no more room in your life for shame or guilt it will only cause more binging. In fact, I have learned that when my food is in order, my whole life is in order. After the food fog clears, every day is far more exciting and enticing than food ever was or could be. Remember, the foods we usually insist on having are the very foods that we are addicted to and cause binging in the first place. Why not open your mind for the first time to a new way? It’s the new structure that heals. We food addicts need to eat differently than the rest of the world.

Once I accepted the fact that I was a food addict, I learned to eat the way a food addict needs to eat – that was the magic bullet.
