| I got nothin'  |
Hello, everyone... I went for a walk this morning. That's big for me because I haven't done that in probably a month. I'm eating ice cream now. That's bad. I've decided that I'm going to take small steps to reach an end goal of being healthy. Trying to do everything at once is not working for me. I just recently quit drinking, so I need to make sure I don't overwhelm myself. The first thing I'm going to do is start walking regularly again. Once I do that and get my energy back up, hopefully it will be easier to cut out the junk food. Try to take it easy, everyone.

Still not the greatest diet, but... ...I went on a 1.5 hour walk today! Great, but that's too much for me too soon. As usual, no matter what I do, I overdo it. I haven't grasped the concept of moderation, or the concept of building one's body up gradually concerning exercise. At least my mood is okay right now. Take it easy, everyone.

Ok, I will go to work "prepared" with foods that are conducive to eating properly, just for today. It's worth me at least "trying" to get back on track, because I feel so "bad" physically... I am a food addict, and I cannot be off a program of healthy eating and expect to live well...it's not "sober behavior".....holy cow just had that realization!!!! I will, for today, stay away from foods that are poison to me.

Good luck to you cali. Boy, do I understand what you are saying. It's amazing to me just how fast I can turn to disordered eating. I am trying to practice some loving self-talk when I wish to eat in a disordered fashion. In some ways, it is a physical manifestation of emotional things that need to be dealt with. When I am out of balance, or stuffing some emotion, or afraid of completely feeling an emotion/feeling/thought, then I turn to food to kill or deaden whatever is going on. If, instead of berating myself for my weakness, I can learn to view it with a little more compassion and see it as a physical manifestation of other stuff I need to deal with in a different way. I can treat "me" lovingly and gently because my early warning system is going off. I know it sounds silly, but "Thank you body for having this tremendous craving for food. You are telling me that there is work I need to do and other coping mechanisms that I need to employ. You are telling me that something is out-of-balance and I should act to correct it." Stupid, I know, but shaming and blaming and berating myself never once made my butt any smaller. Peace. |

Hello, everyone... So far today no OS, but I doubt that will last... ...but it's okay. I went for another long walk this morning (I think I didn't overdo it this time) and now I'm in a good mood. Compared to how I've been lately, that's like saying I'm on top of the world! I know my moods can change in an instant, so I'm holding onto the happiness right now. This is me sending good vibes your way, everyone!

This instant, I can choose to recall mistakes and punish myself all over again. or I can choose to live in the now...and do the next right thing when I become aware of it. This instant, I will do the latter. |

My house has become a danger zone where food is concerned. When my dad died, and for several months after, It was easy as pie (poor choice of words) to "abstain".....now it's like I am on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Other individuals live in my house so I am always surrounded by temptation..today, so far, I have been os free. I'll shoot for 24 hours which will be at about 8 PM tonight-then I can say I have one day.

I am in the same situation I was yesterday. The last time I ate an OS was last evening. The only ray of hope that I have today, is that I hopped on a scale a short while ago, and if I "stop now" the damage actually isn't too catastrophic, "yet".... It gave me hope that I can still reel it in...

I believe...over time...that the benefits of my working on OS sobriety will reap great rewards. I know the AA promises...I don't know what the OS promises are...but already I have learned that I have a choice what I eat...and sometimes I only eat for emotional or self-justification reasons. Take care all.

If I continue coming here for another month...it will be two years. I am grateful. My next thought is I must live in this moment...not the past...not the future...now. I will try to be sober now. Take care all. |

Fo me, promises are the promises. They are the benefits of "sober living", contented living. As long as I cnotinue to "use", weather it be alcohol, cigarettes food-whatever, the promises will not be a "constant"....I see this very clearly now---especially logging on today to read your messages Jack. I don't know if I will make the right choice for today (although I hope I do) however I do believe that if I work the steps more thoroughly, I will see a difference as far as the eating is concerned.....it's like what is bothering me, and left "untreated", is taken out in this most unhealthy way--called bindge eating.... I have a new clarity, I hope I grab on-today, right now!!!

Thanks, Cali. I need to be here...and I need to leave and go to the 10AM meeting I chair in September. I feel I am fading into the past and have anxiety about the future. When I can't focus on the NOW...I will recognize it...communicate it somehow...deal with it...and ask my HP to help me be willing. Take care all.

I am here today, shaking my head like I did in my drinking days.....swearing I would stop---and I would, but then I always picked up........ I feel like getting my own place and having control of what food isn't in the house-it's my only hope I feel....but I know that's not true....I have to want to want it...I feel like I do I really do---then I find myself doing it again..... I am discouraged but not defeated. Again, if I make it until 8 tonight, I will have completed 24 hours OS free.
