Hey Peaceful, sounds like we grew up in the same family! My mom didn't scream though.

Gals, I feel fat today but I know I am not. Knowing it doesn't make the feeling go away though. Interesting that I didn't feel fat until after a phone call with my sister. I am flying to Colo to go with her to a "Vision For You Big Book Retreat". The AV4U OA is very strict, maybe even stricter than FA.

I don't particularly like to be around skinny OA's. Yeah, I'm judgmental. My mind starts to compare and I gently release the thought. I am not overweight, somewhat muscular with womanly curves in all the right places, yet my disease knows how to get to me.

Thankfully, program has taught me to talk back to the disease, what SR folks call AV, I believe. Oh, I talk back to it letting the thoughts/feelings wash over me like a wave going back to the sea, and then I turn my attention to being of service.

Healthy, happy day wished for all.
