Hey!

I am a happy CADDIE girl today. I used to be sad, isolated and lethargic.
I have tried most diets and done insanely amount of research on the topic.

I started with the CAD (I call it the happy diet) in 1999 and lost 17 kilos. Kilos I had gained durring pregnancy and from eating "3-5 times a day".

People would get very irritated over my joy and obvious success. A "helping friend" told me I was wrong and had to apply Atkins thought to my diet to be truly safe and "clean" from sugars.

Since I still was struggling with untreated codependency I fell of the wagon although having had the best year ever and gained it all back.

Dealing with my codependency and facing my well kept guilt and shame in a ACA (adult children of Alcoholics or otherwise dysfunctional homes) I found myself and started to heal. Finally I could say NO!!

CAD is truly for those that need it not for all, but we who do find "home" in the happy diet are blessed. There is something about love, bounders, security, peace eating after these simple principles. Our life span program produces a great chemistry in our bodys, mind and soul.

Oh happy brain! Thanks to Dr. Rachael Heller for sharing her experience and life story and giving some of us peace. I remember the first time I saw the show on Oprah on this new way of living. Happy to have found back.

I just lift my hat for those that are happy in other programs and stick to my path. I don´t need to change them and they have no right to attempt to change me. We can eat today at the same table.

Gratefully (who would have thought)
