Yup...that about sums it up for me.  I'm going to start tomorrow (Friday). If that bombs, I have three days off in a row next week from work. I plan to clean a lot and re-organize my space. When I do those kinds of things I find it easier to start a new eating strategy. I will next post when I have a full 24 hours under my belt without sweets. Did I just say under my belt? Oh my...

Thursdays are the only days I really don't exercise...I'm compulsive enough to wonder why I don't try to fit something in. My oatmeal smoothie this AM consisted of oatmeal, protein powder, 2 small banana's, 1 apple and some walnuts. I feel good...and I hope to make some productive sales calls today. I have a fire dept meeting tonight. I am asking you all for the willingness to have my character defects removed today...including my desire to eat OS's. Take care all. |

Eaten well so far today, chicken salad sandwich and fruit. Hopefully I can maintain it, was hoping to get some exercise but the weather has turned again. Best wishes all.

Yes, you do Cali. Nourish your body - nourish your soul. Tell us how this weekend goes? I would think that someone trying to be healthy and getting so thin would have a lot of denial over this issue. Hopefully she has starting worrying a bit also. That would make your intervention more effective. Tough one........ -Kathleen |

Good morning. I'm happy to say that I'm feeling a bit better. I've been spending time and effort working through, writing through and sitting through some stuff recently and I feel like I'm gaining knowledge and strength because of it. Topic at meeting last night was: Awareness, Acceptance and Action. I feel like I'm working on gaining awareness and staying in awareness and acceptance without rushing headlong into action. I am grateful for this place to come and write about these things, to gain from the ESH that is shared here. Peace, y'all. |

It's Friday. My running buddy doesn't wake up when it rains a little or a lot. I don't run by myself. So I get to catch up on your posts. Thanks for bringing your family and food concerns here...thanks for bringing your family and food successes here. I need to work on my acceptance of me....I let myself get brain-fried by my daughter's drama. For me, an OS binge is as close as...as close as my thinking can be... about cheap and readily available OS's. I ask for willingness today to have my character defects removed. Take care all. |

well-I spoke with her last night and I can already see that it won't go as smoothly as I had planned....she is in "denial"...and I hate that word..I used to think it was over used...but last night I met denial...it's like wow--she has all the justification and all the answers... I pray that she has not already done irreparable damage to her heart and her body. God Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

I think I am eating "at" my sister's problem....very very unhealthy, I know...but I feel it's a "lack" of control thing....today drinking has been on my mind, a lot...talk of micro-brew and other chatter that I usually "tune out" is unusually appealing.....but again, it's the "lack" of control thing....I know I can only take care of me, after all is said and done...if I don't have sobriety, I have nothing....I am totally off the count but I am here sharing. I hope I handle today with strength and dignity....have to talk to my sister today...

Sorry, Gutters...Bamboozle is at 0 I ate half a bag of Hershey kisses in one hour. Uggg.....I know I should try tomorrow, but...I'll be back at this thread on 09/15/08 with an update on my progress. In the mean time, please make a new catogory and put my name under "FAILURE". I'm serious. And put a smiley face by it. It will help. I hope.

It's Saturday night. Overall, I have had a sober...but fun...day. It's rained...but I played in it...my daughter drives me nuts at times...but I didn't le3t myself get sucked into the drama...I wanted to pig out on OS's...but I didn't. Tomorrow will be another day to work on my sobriety...sanity...and serrentity. Take care all.

Bamboozle - I don't think you're a failure because you had some chocolate. Come back and try again. We're going to eat sweets once in awhile. In fact, I may skip out on this thread because I'm getting a little obsessive about the whole eating anything period. I had a pickle and a diet coke today. And then I felt guilty about the damn pickle!  |

My thought is I am dealing with my obsession behavior...obsession probably means the same as addictive behavior...where I binge because I want to feel good...where I don't act like normal people who only have one or two. I have not been close to perfect...but I have been honest with myself...which is a requirement for AA sobriety..."if we have the capacity to be honest" I applaud myself this AM for working a program of sobriety that requires honesty and reality from me. I am humble this AM because I need the help of others like each of you...to figure this whole thing out. I am here because I can't stay OS sober by myself. |

Well, I made it one 24 hrs. sugar free. I didn't really even try to. I just went on about my daily chores today and I didn't have anything in the house to eat that was sweet. We will see what tomorrow brings. But I won't give up trying to accomplish this goal.

thanks Pony-I needed to read that part "I won't give up trying to accomplish this goal". My sister is on the right track to getting better. She has the right doctors lined up-promised that today she will make calls to see a nutritionist. Now I really need to take care of myself or I'm going to be in real trouble. I MUST put my eating right up there with sobriety again. I am trying again for day one today. Thanks everyone!

Doing okay and no OS. Yesterday I went with family for a chinese buffet. I polished off two plates of food and two bowls of fruit but that was about it for the day. I had fruit for breakfast and then went out for a nine mile run, so I am okay with that. I am not great when it comes to those who are struggling, all I can say is hang in there and best wishes to you all.

Restart me, please. I ate in a disordered manner for two days over the weekend. I'm grateful that I don't have to continue the behavior today. I'm glad that I get a clean start today. I don't have to stay "out". I can return to sanity and sobriety. This is not a failure. It's just a part of the journey. Progress, not perfection, right? Treat yourselves gently. Peace. |
