Find Truth Get Free

I mentioned previously that I started a yahoo support group (board). We're a small, but very actively posting group. Since May 2 (not quite 3 weeks ago), we had 768 posts. I'm not only amazed by the activity, but I'm very impressed by our members' honesty, courage and hard work to change and/or eliminate problem eating habits. If that topic interests readers of this blog, read our board description below and consider applying for membership. Here's the board description:

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32

We welcome anyone who wants to change problem eating habits. We believe we have the inner resources and answers to resolve our own eating problems. After we identify those problems, we then seek solutions from our own experiences. We know that we don’t always use problem habits. So we look for those times and occasions when we resist problem eating. We encourage one another to do more of what works and less of what doesn’t work. We don’t need to resolve all of our psychological problems just to change eating habits. So we focus on making the small changes which eventually eliminate problem eating habits. Whether you are overweight, underweight or just unhealthy, you know your own habits and strengths better than anyone else. We can help you realize what you already know to resolve your problem. The truth will set you free.

Because we actively seek solutions for our own problem habits, we want every member to actively post about their specific habit, when they resist using that and how they resolve their problem. So we discourage 'lurkers' or people who only intend to read our messages, but not post their own, from applying for membership.

The link to our board is: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/findtruthgetfree

After you apply for membership, I will send you 3 questions to answer about why you chose to apply for membership:

(1) Do you want to eliminate or resist using a specific problem eating habit? If so, please describe that habit.

(2) Do you notice times or occasions when you don't use that habit or you are most likely to resist using that habit?

(3) What differences do you hope to see as a result of participating on this board?

After I receive your answers, I will approve your membership. Then you can start reading, posting, asking and answering questions from our members. I hope to hear from you soon.
