Thanks to all. Some great advice that I will put to use.
As for diet, I eat a raw veggies and fruit just about about everyday. Sometimes, however, the craving for sweets, esp. baked goods (lots of them) are overwhelming and I go into a frenzy/gorge and feel horrible afterwards. When I wrote my post I was in the middle of such an (all day!) episode.
The "How are You" emails from family are trivial. It just started me off for some reason. I kinda flipped once to one sister and she's backed off quite a bit. I did aplogize and I know it hurt her. I feel badly about that.
Also, I know I push people away and then wonder why I'm so loney. Duh!
I am greatful for my many blessings. As different as they are from me, I know most of my family are good and caring folks. Yes, some probably have an agenda, some are definitely in denial. I need to accept that they will never understand and to keep family events to a minimum. They usually push my buttons.
I have a wonderful husband and 3 great cats. They are so cool.
As for therapy, I've had over 6 years and it didn't help much. I tired of it.
Thanks, again. Going back to check the thread from March 20.
