2011 at 365 I wanted to loose weight with a new years resolution. No action until Nov. then went to OA Bay think I would get the plan and leave and be fixed,

Got sponsor and had to refrain from 5 alcoholic foods.

I was proud of how much I can eat. Never full.

Had a watermelon cake with fruit for my wedding.

I have a daily ritual including prayers daily readings, my abstinence, regular meetings and sponsoring.

I trust my sponsor to help me navigate my errors .

I was in my 40s when I started growing up.

First time into OA - 1978

They were speaking my language around food. For three weeks I had to hibernate to stay away from sugar.

I realized I could be moderate with anything without sugar. I lost weight down to 88 lbs. worked for 3 years

For over 40 years I went up and down and kept clothes for every size.

I could loose weight, for a minute and never had not worked the steps

At 57 I was raising my 3 year old autistic grandson and coped by eating.

for the last 15 yearas I have been wearing the same size clothes

Today at an Easter dinner I stayed away from the dessert table.

My food plan is boring and works for me.

Top weight pregnant 5'3" and 213.

Started in OA in 1990. Lasted 5 years, stayed abstinent throguh second pregamancy. I got this... not - 7 rear relapse.

I gave up sugar before I came back - It was my heroin,

Came home from Paris after gaining 7 lbs in a week realizing I had a problem but didn't need a sponsor. Still wanted the diet.

I surrendered VERY slowly. I was just fat.

I have had one more slip. waas back quickly, had nowhre else to go.

I have a Higher Power whom I don't always listen to.

I have a daily ritual for my higher power, my program and my family.

Weighing and measureing works for me when I am at home. (Most of the time).

I don't hate myself anymore - or you.
