I know in the 12 steps program, that a step is to surrender to a higher power, or to recognise that the problem is more than just you can handle.
I see with a lot of people (mainly myself) that the weight struggle as been an enormous plight of addiction to foods, emotional upheaval, and struggling self esteem etc.
I know that ADBB cops a lot of flack for being focussed on the 2002 DANDR book. A lot of people are accused of being program NAZIs.
But the reality is, the reason why the program is so adhered to, is I think, that we recognise that we cannot do this alone, or under just our own power.
That we dietary guideance from a program that works.
It doesn't matter what diet plan you choose, the majority of successful losers, succeed because they adhere to the plan.
And anyone who is struggling emotionally, and a lot of self doubt, can go back to this plan and ADBB and find refuge, and the the strength to go on.
I PMd 2big4mysize about something the other day, and in helping me, she directed me to a section in the book. (Thanks 2big btw!)
If I had decided to do my own plan, or make up my own rules along the way, where would I be in this time of crisis?
This is the power of the DANDR program, and we can use the strength of that program to help us when the times are bad, and when we are emotionally down.
Just thought I would share!
