I am so upset right now. I have been doing sooo soo good. Today was day nbumber 10 and I kinda blew it. Luckily I stoped myself before I ate too much but I still started to binge. I also chickened out on my second OA meeting. I don't know why. Besides this today was a good day. I don't get it. I feel like a faliure and I dont want to live like this nemore ..help

Don't be so down on yourself. You are on a journey and sometimes the road gets tough. Be proud you stopped yourself and get to that second meeting in the very near future. Do you have any phone numbers from others in your support group. If not, get some at your next meeting so you have someone to call for support when your emotioal state urges you to reach for food to self soothe.

Hi Runnerchick,

You're doing great, just be kind to yourself and keep on moving ahead. One thing I found was that when I started doing well (I was trying to stop drinking, but it's the same principle) it made me feel anxious. I was not used to feeling good about myself, not for a long time and doing well made me feel uneasy, so I'd sabotage myself.

Hang in there.

Love, Anna

Yeah...what Anna said!!! And June too. Beating ourselves up gets us nowhere. Today is a new day, start again. I know we can tell ourselves that everyday and sabotage ourselves, but when it happens it happens.

Take it one day at a time....and get to the next meeting, k?
