Question What's your abstinence?

Hi, I'm James and I'm and compulsive overeater (as well as an alcoholic, a debtor and a codependent and .....?)

I haven't posted on SR in a long time as I've been focused primarily on my face to face recovery, but I'm in a new phase in recovery so it seems like a good time to come back and visit SR. I've gone back to OA (I tried once last year) and I've got 23 days abstinent, which is 1 day more than I had last time .

I would like to hear what folks are doing for their food addiction recovery, and particularly what kind of abstinence we are following (or not following ). My abstinence as I define it is sugar and flour free (at the fifth ingredient or lower) and weighed or measured. I'm doing 4 meals a day, with no snacks, planned daily and committed to my food sponsor. So what's your abstinence?

James
