Thank you for sharing your story! What a blessing and treasure you are!! I too was a thin child with a food pushing fat mother....how I related to much of your story! I do believe alcohol and sugar addiction are different forms of the same thing. Everyone on my mother's side of the family was a raging alcoholic including my brother. Me, I became a sugar addict instead. But no more! Now I LOVE ME enough to want to be all the wonderful things I was intended to be. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for sharing your story!!
