Italian Dressing Recipe Anyone?

feeds@yuku.com (Mom4jzej) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 14:48:13 GMT

My heart is broken! Newman's Own Olive Oil & Vinegar Dressing now has sugar in it! Check your bottles! At least here in Oklahoma it does. So with that does anyone have a good recipe to replace my good ol' Paul dressing?

Need a sponsor via email

feeds@yuku.com (kateinak) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:31:16 GMT

I am looking for a sponsor who is willing to mostly email (maybe a little phone.) I am in Alaska and we don't have meetings. I am also very busy and I think I would have the most success this way. I'm very excited about starting my new lifestyle and becoming a happier person!

I am not a religious or particularly spritiual person, so it would be best if I could find a sponsor who...

Abstinence and withdrawl symptoms

feeds@yuku.com (victoria) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:07:37 GMT

Hello,

I was wondering what your experiences have been with respect to initiating abstinence. What signified that point of commitment for all of you? How did you tolerate the cravings for those sweet treats that always brought you comfort? I'm getting close to the point of being completely sick and tired of the abuse of this disease and what it does to me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I'm so tired of this battle. But I'm scared of the commitment b/c I...

New and needing a sposor to relate to and help me!

feeds@yuku.com (bears7) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:30:00 GMT

Hi
I'm new here-found the website a few days ago and have been trying to figure things out-of course this is the worst time of the year to do this! But I need to kick this addiction!

I'm 26 years old and a former athlete. I used to eat anything and everything I wanted-and when I grew up my mom's way of showing love was through food. I've always had extra weight but because I was so active it was kind of ok-I've never been skinny or lean. So I never...

Looking for Patient Sponsor with similar experience

feeds@yuku.com (Susan B) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:48:44 GMT

I've been struggling to get started seriously with the food plan for a month or so. I've gone to meetings, in person and by phone, have read some of the literature and developed some food prep habits. I really want what many of the long timers have talked about - clarity, peace, energy, focus, etc, but have a real hard time finding the willingness. I'm hoping a sponsor would help me with encouragement, ideas to make the food plan easier and more appealing, and in keeping me...

PREGNANT!!!

feeds@yuku.com (lauren) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:41:04 GMT

I learned today that i am 1 month pregnant! Does anyone here have any abstinent pregnancy experience? I already weigh about 15 lbs. over a normal healthy weight and do not want to gain a single pound more than I need to. According to the charts, I should gain only 20lbs. Should I stick with normal abstinence since the baby's weight will already come on? I know this is elementary questioning, but I really need to sort this out!

Sponsor . . .

feeds@yuku.com (ahall) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:46:45 GMT

I am new to the board and am seeking a sponsor who is familiar with the Graysheet Plan. I currently have a sponsor who I am working on the 12 Steps with but she is unable to help me with my questions about my eating plan. I would like for someone who would be willing to help and someone I can be accountable to by emailing my food journal to daily. Hope everyone is having a great FRIDAY!!!

Night shift..

feeds@yuku.com (Flutterby) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:37:02 GMT

Hi everyone

I work casually as a nurse doing night shifts. My job is to 'special' high risk patients - so it's one on one care where I cannot leave the room. No lights are on aside from my little book light. I get a 45 minute break.

Could anyone please guide me on what I should do regarding my food on night shift? Obviously the first night is ok because I have followed the plan all day, however the following day, I get home at 8am and sleep until 4-5pm....
