FS, thanks for the link to the Wild Diet--I've not heard of it and I find that looking into the many variations of this idea is really worthwhile ("take what you like and leave the rest", LOL, kind of like Alanon!).
Like FS, I have also found myself digging into many layers to get at the root of this behavior. Just "dieting" (again) seemed silly. And I'm finding and dealing with things I've never noticed or thought about before. When I began to see how strong the parallels were between XAH's behaviors around alcohol and my own around food, it was both enlightening and frightening for me.
There is SO much more to this than 3 spin classes a week and 1200 calories a day!! I'm really grateful to have (at least some of) the tools to make real changes now.
