Hey C2B-
Here's my view on "joining" this thread-----I see it as if anyone has a "desire" to change a particular eating habit-in this case obvious sweets, then come on in!
Even if you end up eating sweets every single day but still have that desire to read the posts, absorb some of the great stuff that goes on around here, then YES come on in and keep coming back!!! I can't tell you how many times I would come here-feel so encouraged-then go out an hour later and find myself eating an OS..then wouldn't come back for weeks--beating myself up....it was horrible!

Thanks to Jack (who must have known I was suffering) who assured me that I absolutely can keep coming back no matter what I did--and it took a while after that but here I am...and I might need to start over at some point--who knows--but the most important thing for me to remember is that this is sort of like face to face aa-I know I can come here and start over if I have to...fortunately I believe that I don't have to today.
