	From the First Bite: A Complete Guide to Recovery from Food Addiction Do you know you talk a lot about food and weight? My recovery from active food addiction started with those words from a friend. Since I wasn't aware, I answered, No, I didn't realize that.
	Food Addiction: Healing Day By Day, Daily Affirmations In years gone by, New Year's Day was the day to make resolutions: time to start a new diet, join a gym or develop a new self-improvement plan. Usually the resolutions were the same as last year's. Now that we are in recovery, each day is a new beginning.
