welcome to our group
Four months ago I was constantly binging and feeling terrible about it and yet I had no power to do anything to stop it. I had a spiritual experience of coming to believe my higher power could restore mre to sanity with my food and after that I was able to stick to a food plan. I don't step on the scales every day. I only weight once a ( Read more... ) -
abstinence
I've been having trouble with my abstinence. I've been abstinent from binging, but I feel uncomfortable like I don't know how to keep going with it. I feel frightened. I hate having an eating disorder so much. Hate, hate, hate, hate it. I want to stay abstinent. Today's plan: I'm going out to get some soup soon . Eat the soup and eat ( Read more... ) -
Step 3
On action alone be thy interest, never on its fruits
Bhagavad Gita
Why am I still obsessed with weight? I'm abstaining, I'm trying to work the steps; but I can't give up the scale. I'm terrified to stop the constant monitoring of my weight. What if I gain? How will I know it if I don't weight?
The problem is, I'm trying to work this program without ( Read more... ) -
Day 5
I'm thrilled that I got through day 5. Went the entire day without eating sweets or binging. I'm so happy. I feel a better connection to my higher power. It's as if my mind is able to focus better on my higher power or something. But there's a connection with my hp that I didn't have before.
I'm excited to get more days of abstinence.

Day 5
So today is another good day so far. I'm on day 5. Yay! I have been sugar free, three moderate meals and one snack per day. The snack is normally fruit, but I allow myself a carb or dairy. So it's good. I've done this before and I'll play with my abstinence as I go along. I'll probably do some weighing, but I spent too much time in HOW doing ( Read more... ) -
Day 3
I did well today. Yay! I went to two different gocery stores and remained abstinent at both of them. At one of them I got a medium portion of a main dish at their buffet. After that I was so used to grabbing a sweet thing and I did not do it. It felt odd. I'm not really having too many withdrawal symptoms. I have come to realize that this ( Read more... ) -
Step One Prayer
Higher Power,
Today is a new day for me and with your help it can be a day of abstinence. I ask for your protection in case some time during the day my desire to overeat is greater than my desire to abstain. I ask for your protection from anyone and anything that may interfere with my abstinence. I know that I am powerless over food. I believe you ( Read more... ) -
Let's be abstinent together
"But I'm too weak. I'll never make it!" Don't worry, we have all thought and said the same thing. The amazing secret to the success of this program is just that: weakness. It is weakness, not strength that binds us to each other and to a higher power and somehow gives us the ability to do what we cannot do alone ( Read more... ) -
