Very dangerous for me. As bad as booze us for others.. Very hard to stop. I have to stop.
It is most dangerous to me.....Yes, it is that bad..I've read a lot about salt. It kills.

And guess what?....Salt is NOT labeled as...Addictive..
.....Yes, I have had major medical problems.

.... I have to change, & it won't be easy.
.....I will report back in a couple of days. I had a bag of pretzels today.
.....I bought it a couple of days ago...425 mg of salt per oz. It is the total truth. (whole bag 16 ounces)
.....In 2 days, I ate all of them.
(every ounce is 15 small pretzels, not large, but small ones.) I eat a lot of food with salt. Very hard to stop. Most difficult. .... At least I talked about it. And I didn't want to... ...............got to add something positive.

....Weight is normal, & blood pressure normal. I am at a very low weight for me. Lowest in 40 years
....Blood Pressure very close to normal.

.....I've dealt with other addictions. That is why I am here.
