It’s 2023 I started one year ago on 6-12-22, I so relate with your story, thank you. It’s great to see and hear from a beautiful young woman expressing my same experience through out my life and I am 6 months away from 70.
I know your video is 2 years old. It made me cry. It is the first time I’m viewing this I am identifying with what you are talking about. Thank you for your honesty. I feel as though everyone follows program from get go. It’s nice to know others struggle
This was one of the greatest zoom calls I've ever been a part of!!! Thank you to everyone who shared. You guys spoke so deeply to me. I cried multiple times.
There needs to be a "love" button! This was amazing. Thank you to all three of you for sharing your hearts. Trey, you have no idea how many lives have been touched tonight because you shared your story. Thank you!!
I'm also in recovery. Been sober for 40 years in June 2023. It amazes me how the two areas are the same. The growth is the same and the learning is the same. Thank you for sharing on this topic.
As a recovering addict, this calls to my soul. I've been sober off all mood and mind altering substances for 12 years. I used to say that food and caffeine was my only vice left and I wasn't letting them go. This is my second time on this program. The first time, ONE GELATO brought the sugar cravings back and I couldn't stop. This time around, I read element 16 immediately like my coach had suggested LAST TIME! It is never hard for me to say I will never drink or use again. I hope I can one day say the same for sugar.
Trey, I very recently made a connection between addictive alcohol behaviors from my past and my struggles to get a grip on my inability to stick to program because of extremely high addiction to sugar and carbohydrates and salt. I am so grateful for your vulnerability and honesty. You certain didn't seem idiotic in any way, such courage and love from you. Thank you. And Molly and Leslie, the 3 at a time cookies and gee two sets of donuts can't possibly be enough... I keep living this nightmare over and over.
The aha moment for me was when I heard the call to become an addict to HOH. Why not, might as well, it's more rewarding. Thank you all three of you. I got some work to do.
Oh my God!! I am truly moved and appreciate your genuine transparency. I had know idea of all that this community covers. I am a therapist who speaks life into others but when I am struggling dont have the support system to be vulnerable with to share my own addictions with food and nicotine which hurts my soul to say it out loud. This is healing for me and your open discussions and courage to speak your truth has encouraged me as I do my own work going into week 4. Thank you so much and keep moving forward.
Thanks for being real. I need to keep in these books more. Amazing Leslie. Unhealthy food leads to chronic poor health. I have a husband who has been addicted to sweets. So important info about refined sugars and refined flours.
listening to the first few minutes brought tears to my eyes. I had to stop because I have to go to work. I am trying to stop the tears. Why am I crying? Because finally someone admitted to what I am. I am so addicted to sugar. 3 cookies does equal 1. I am not the only one and I can overcome. I have been working on not eating sugar for over 5 years. My last two items I could not let go of were chips and chocolate. I am finally over chocolate and the chips are fading. The only way I can leave the food alone is to not eat one, the same as not having 1 drink. I lost 110 pounds a few years ago 80 came back due to people saying I was too thin. well I am prepared for there comments and I won't let them affect me. I now only have 40 pounds to go to be my true tiny self. I went from a size 22 to 6. At size 8/10 I felt health and light. I know that is my true size. I want it back. I am off all medications and I work out 4 days a week. I have been on program 3 days again. I am hopeful. I have hope!!!! My coach helped figure out exactly what I needed to eat and it is working. Slow but steady. I am feeling happy again. Thank you for sharing so honestly. I will finish the video after work and let the happy tears flow.
I am still trying. I 3 stresses. 2 are gone almost done with the third. Then I going to focus on me!!!! Thank you for asking!!!!!I am eating way less chocolate. Chips are reduced alot. Cookies are next. I also have a tiny jacuzzi and it is helping me to relax. It is so helpful!!!
I so appreciate this. I deal with food addiction as well. I've been on and off Optavia for three years (more off). I've STRUGGLED to stay on plan. Thank you for being transparent!
Hi there. I am on Optavia too. I hope this will help you. Every time I eat a fueling, I remind myself how grateful I am to eat some thing I know that will make me healthier. That provides a sense of freedom to me that other diets have not given me. For me it is not theoretical. When I am off plan my blood sugar is between 200 to 300. When I am on plan my blood sugar is between 120 and 150. There is a video by an optimy a coach named Gwen who talks about continuing her fuelings,even if she goes off plan. That video might help as well. Best of luck.
This is good because it gives an idea of what is acceptable, and what is not. Because sometimes if you grew up in a family without portion control you may not even know how many is normal to have. You may think that of course is fine to have these mini, when everyone else is thinking oh my goodness. So it’s good to know.
This is a powerful message and one i needed to hear, because although I've been sober for over 30 years, I transferred that addiction to sugary foods like cake and ice cream, the end result being poor health, obesity and fear of what was on the horizon for my health. Optavia has been a life changer for me. Thanks for sharing your story
The idea that a food addict seeks repeatedly Instantaneous highs after finishing each cookie and that one key is to not take that first bite out of the first cookie!

Molly’s story is so fitting! Headed to NOLA on the 18th and need this reminder!

I’m so glad I decided to check this out. I’m in AA and you have explained this so good. I’m now addicted to doing this program.
Also in AA 32 years. Lost over120 but slowly start to return after i loose all the weight after i return to eating or trying to eat normal

Great presentation. Yes sugar is highly addictive which is why most alcoholics in recovery switch addiction to sugar. Client.
The aha moment for me was when I heard the call to become an addict to HOH. Why not, might as well, it's more rewarding. Thank you all three of you. I got some work to do.
I am struggling so bad with sugar thoughts...everyday! It's a true battle and this was a great topic/video to put out...Thank you for this!!!!

God is good! I needed this to get me into reading and using these two books!
I don't think people realize just how addictive sugar is. But it is a very real thing #realtalk
Wow! This is so powerful. Thank you all for bearing your soul. Everyone on program should watch this video.
The BEST podcast from optavia!
Trey you are so Brave and courageous! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you , what a gift and a blessing this has been for me.
What an amazing video! Thank you so much for your honest transparency!
This blew me away. Thank you!!
Tha k you for sharing. I am a food addict. I have had WLS. Optivia30 is another tool in my toolbox of success.
I’m five years sober and now fighting my sugar addiction
This was so powerful! 👏🏻👏🏻

Omg, I’m crying as I hear you...
We have all done it!

I am from Houma, Louisiana!!
Wow! Great talk
I love you all🌺❤️
I have a moderate susceptibility. But I see how I used to have a high one.
One day at a time!!
The idea that a food addict seeks repeatedly Instantaneous highs after finishing each cookie and that one key is to not take that first bite out of the first cookie!
Awww! 😢
High High High
I enjoyed the video but there talking about AA and sponsorship. There journey to recovery seems a little borrowed from a very popular program.
Secret eater. That’s what I am.
