First time poster, long time addict.

I may be on to something... I've been spending the last few months trying to consume as much self help information as possible and so far the best advice I've read is the power of writing! Everyday I write some positive reinforcement messages to myself to remind myself of how I'm strong enough to drop this childish habit. It's really been a great help. I'm feeling like the urges are still there but now I have some belief in myself and it's easier to just say no. I also record my food intake, my short and long time goals, and my thoughts/inspirations for projects.

I want to start a successful business one day and I'm slowly beginning to be confident in myself and not only chase my dreams but also push farther past them.

I will start school. I will lose weight. I will follow my dreams of creating products to make the world better. I will replace my bad habits with healthy ones.

We are all strong.
