Hi Sky,

They may be onto something with the Dopamine connection. Dopamine dificency is also the reason for ADHD,

I was obease as a child.
and well one is to many and a million is never enough when it comes to certain foods .especially sugar.

Untill they find the right drug or gene for it I find abstaining from what turns one on is the only answer and that takes the surrender that any addict has to face ,

it doesn;t seem fair , but in the long run . I do not miss my junk food.

I got the message from a very wonderful woman who had 15 years of abstince one day at An OA confrence. back in the 1980's If she is still living she probably has almost 40 by now.

I knew she had what I needed. It was just not what I really wanted on that day. It took some work to surrender. And Im glad I can follow in her foot steps one day at a time . And grateful for the simplicity of it.
it works.
