((((((altonwoodsdrphil)))))) -Great Words!

When I was 22, I weighed 210 LBS give or take on a 5'4" frame. I now weigh 148 LBS on a 5'4" frame. 4 of those LBS lost I can contribute to not drinking.

Research, Research, Research. Throw yourself into learning. Not saying it's the right way for you but - it worked for me so you can give it a try.

Addictive personality - I have one but, I also believe there are good addictions and bad. Research diets, find what works for you, find it as your new addiction - "to control your weight with a healthy lifestyle". It may work and may not......but its worth a shot.

Just my 2 cents.

Know that you are not alone. We all trade one addiction for another. But, one thing at a time...........you can do this!!!!!!!!
