Thank you for explaining your point of view, WereBear.

I think that the "striving for" is what has worked best for me. I am not now nor will I ever be a perfect person. I do the very best I can with the tools I have. I strive to be a better person.

I now have 5 1/2 years of maintenance under my belt. I have built a food plan for myself that works well for me.
I can still easily be triggered emotionally by certain things in my life and I strive to be better at not reacting. I put myself back into psychotherapy to help me do this.

Having the understanding about what sugar, any flour and wheat can do to me, I do avoid them. I do think that there'd be a lot more successful weight loss, and maintenance , if/when people would get over the shame associated with emotional/compulsive overeating. The shame is, IMO, what keeps this such a hidden subject.
