Hey. Wow I'm so excited that I found you guys.
My abstinence is.....
..... 4oz protein and one fruit for breakfast, 4oz protein and 2 veggies for lunch, 4oz protein and 3 veggies for dinner. Nothing in between. I talk multi vitamins and drink lots of water and walk 30 minutes a day(not always). I go to OA once a week (AA every day because I got into AA first, 5 years ago). I call my sponsor every day (OA). I have had no "whites" since July 23, 2005. Feeling the emotions I use to eat to mask has been the hardest thing for me. I was 46 years old, <5'2", 280 pounds, and hopeless when I followed a friend who later became my sponsor to an OA meeting. I have lost 114 pounds. I now enjoy life. My Higher Power has done for me what I could not do for myself. I am daily being delivered from the bondage of self and the bondage of food addiction. I do the first three steps on my food every morning. And again during the day when I am tempted. This is what I must do because my disease wants me dead. I choose life today.
When I want to eat, I ask myself what I'm trying not to feel. Writing helps alot. Sometimes writing and burning it helps.....sometimes I have to repeat that a few times....just a thought.
