I feel like having a binge :-/ I just did a pregnancy test and it was negative. Although the circumstances are less than ideal, I was really hopeful. Now I just feel devestated

I did not have the strength to say "No thanks" yesteday. My son said "No thanks" and he was sitting next to me when the birthday cake came around. It should have been easy for me. I didn't want growing sobriety enough yesterday. I was on very slippery slopes in other areas as well. I prayed for the strength to do the right things... yet I caved in. I need to nail down a sobriety date and keep it. OK, July 24th will be Day 1...and Day 1 will be the start of continuous OS sobriety. |

My Day 1 needs to be today. I caved in. I want to eat healthy each time I eat. OS's are not healthy for me. I eat them obsessively....almost every time I eat them. I pray that I eat healthy when I eat today. Take care all. |

Well, I thought I really better post this....I ate 4 peices of BD cake on Wednesday, Felt sick on Thursday....Ate 3 or 4 cupcakes on Friday...not too bad on Saturday morning, but then ate 6 cupcakes, 2 peices of BD cake and ice cream last night. I feel nauseous and my blood sugar levels are wack. Diahrea too...i know TMI. So...allowing my self to "take a break" from no OS seems to be an obvious no brainer mistake. Don't want to share my sickness...but perhaps it is something to think about when you do like I did and "make a decision" to stop trying INSANTITY!!!!! So....I am recommitted and working on day 1 today. I also ate most of the sweets at home after not eating them in public....hiding my eating...WOW. Is there anyone who will be around on Monday? Work is tough not to eat at and I'de like to have some back up support just in casse it's tough. I can use some of my AA friends, but they don't always get it though they are supportive. Can't wait to hear how all you are doing! |

ananda I am back-I'll be at work today but will try to check in--after being gone for a week it may be tough but I'll sure try! Dave thanks for your service to this thread. I will miss seeing you and reasing all that you offered. Life is an ebb and flow and all things mush change. I too may have to take a break and get more involved face to face. I need to start sharing regularly at my meetings cause I have shared way more here than I have there. And to everyone on this journey--it's really hard at times...I should take myself off the list too---I have come pretty close to just blowing it..I haven't but boy it's hard to be around it all the time.. I don't want to go back to that way of eating. I have to remember what it was like---thanks ananda for yoour honesty cause that's exactly what it does to me too when I've been away for a while. I will be back later or PM me I do know how hard it can be!!!

Seems like several of us are having a rough go of it. Ananda, thank you for taking over the count. Dave, good luck to you and thank you for your service. I had an episode this weekend, so I need to be rebooted. The good news is that I let it stop at one episode. Peace to you all. |

So I am working on 1...thanks everyone...I still couldn't get straight yesterday, but no sweets yet today, and my son has promised to eat the 3 cupcakes that are left before I get home at noon. The candy lady at work is off for the week so I am going to put her candy dish away and that should make it easier. The list is really a help to me. I can see that people come back and rebuild those days...and seeing people get way up there is great too! Gotta go...and my internet at home is in an out! So I may have to post only at work and once at night if it takes a while to get it fixed. Thanks. |

Well, I don't know what to say. The last couple days I haven't clicked on or posted. I am sadden, but totally understand Dave's decision...and certainly that Cali may find the need to move on. In the past, I felt the need to carry this thread regardless if I was the only one showing up or on the list. I don't feel that need now. I believe this is progress. I am having some progress in working on my other addictions as well. I don't know what to do right now...we will just see what turns up. |

Hello all, just to clarify things a little. My wife is having a few health issues and I think I should give a bit more time to helping her. Also I find when I get any free time I want to get out and exercise, this coupled with the kids always being on the computer means time is very limited. The last reason is that for a while I haven't felt I was making much of a contribution apart from updating the count. To me, coming on here and being off topic most of the time doesn't sit comfortably with me and I feel that it could discourage others. I am extremely grateful to all of you for the changes I have been making and I will pop in from time to time, best wishes to you all and many thanks.

Good morning all. I do hate to see our group disbanding, but understand that self-care comes first. I will continue to post here - and probably much more off-topic than usual. I'm going through a should-I-stay-or-should-I-go patch with my partner and the emotional toll has magnified the urge to self-comfort with food about ten fold. I'm functioning in one-minute intervals right now. Peace and hope to us all. Roxie |

HUH...off topic...gee...don't get it. I'm going through a lot right now. And I see a connection between my inability to deal well with things to my eating problems. So nothing is really off topic to me. I'm pretty rough around the edges right now and am not doing what I need to get things done in my life. Feeling off center in all my relationships. You know, I think the full out sugar binge I went on Wed-Saturday puts me in an emotional state and when I stop there is a down time. Being compasionate toward myself has always been dificult for me. I tend to not treat my body well..lack of sleep, oding on sugar, drinking, all that stuff. I really need to learn how to set boundries with others and myself without all the anger stuff that comes out of all this fear. I always wanted to be safe and today I am relearning what I use to know ... that life is not about safety..it's about living and making mistakes...taking risks for a better life. So just rattling off topic. keep posting all!  |

I am still here. I am sorry for not being around as of late. Since losing my mom two weeks ago, I have found myself just needing to work through things. I am not leaving this group nor this thread. But I have not been OS free for even one day, so that is why I said put me off the list for now. Felt that having to come back her every two days and tell you to start me over was not good. right now my sobiety with alcohol is priority, and I hope you all can understand that. I am struggling with sweets alot right now. Keep posting everyone, it realy does help.

((Hugs)) to all. I'm struggling at the moment. I'm hearing a lot of 'noise'. It feels like everyone has an opinion on my life and my recovery, and they are constantly telling me to do this or do that. Because of all the noise, I can't hear what I want. I want to tell everyone (including my sponsor) to shut up and let me 'listen' for a while. I've not had any concious contact with my HP for a long time. I just want to be quiet for a while and let things make sense. Some people are telling me that if I keep doing what I'm doing, I'll get what I always get. I'm not ready to leave my husband. I don't know if I want to leave my husband. People are telling me that if I stay in this situation too long, I'll die. That annoys me - I can't just 'jump ship' and leave my husband in the hope that my food issues will resolve themselves if I'm not married. The problem is ME not my marriage. I'm just fed up of all the conflicting 'advice' which is sounds like demands. I want someone to 'listen' to me and let me talk things through. I haven't got that - everyone has an opinion.
