Had a coissant on Saturday, suffered for it. Back today off sugar and sweeteners. Still feel shaky and I'm eating too much! At least free from my trigger food.0

Hello Gamliela!
Yes, for me it is a great relief to get free of my trigger foods. I'm finding MFP to be a very helpful tool to help me stay in reasonable limits. I'm done eating for the day, and am grateful for recovery through my OA program.0 -
Committing to my freedom from compulsive eating today - and abstaining from sugar - just for today.1

Checking in again and commiting to a day free from coe.1

Commiting to another day of abstinence.1

It took me quasi 4 days to really recover from that trigger food I ate. By that I mean that although I didn't eat any more sugar or sweets after that trigger food, I feel like I was overindulging in other foods too much in my attempt to get past the craving set up by the sugar and bread I gave in to.
At least I am back on track and abstinant.2 -
Grateful for OA and grateful to be done eating for another abstinent day. I'm feeling some relief from the madness of compulsive eating.2

Sencha, I'm happy you are finding a freedom from coe. What do you do to attain it?1
-
Hmm - my post didn't post, I guess.
Hi Gamliela and all - keeping my OA recovery in my mind helps me. I go through this checklist:
Powerless ✔️
Believe in a power greater than me can help ✔️
Ask for help, turn it over ✔️
Then I commit my intention to be abstinent, and log everything.
Keeping sugar and flours out cuts my urges.
Best to all, Jill1 -

I finished yesterday abstinant free and free from coe!
Starting today logging everything, powerless, asking Power Greater than myself for freedom from coe and to maintain abstinance from sugar and flour.1 -

Nice, Gamliela! - I'm joining you with a pledge for abstinence today. Asking for help to be free from coe, no flours or sugar. Logging every bite.1
-
One day at a time again today.1

@KnitOrMiss good to see you again, even though there are only a few of us I find these check ins are good. I get to know others in the oa program and without that I would be isolated in my problem, there aren't oa meetings near me.
Today I'm logging and joining Jill for another coe, sugar and flour free day!
Best wishes all.1 -

@Gamliela - Even if I'm not posting, I make a point to read these posts when they come up. I'm the one clicking like on your status posts and such!
I'm in a less than stellar phase for myself right now. Cost is preventing any decent food options, which ends up triggering binges and poor choices. So I'm just doing the best I can and surviving until a better time.
I send all of y'all good thoughts every single day! 1 -
I'm pledging my abstinence - just for today.0

I didn't realize there was activity here, great! The more places in program that I connect to, the better!
I'm pledging to remain on plan for the next 24 hours!1 -
Busy day yesterday and exhaustion, I stayed abstinant but woke up in the night and ate nuts and plain yogurt, so not perfect. Back today pledging abstinance, admitting powerless and logging everything.1
-
I'm with you, pledging to my abstinence for the day.1

Finally feeling more normal after relocating but still, remembering my powerlessness over food, logging and checking in, and asking help from the One who has All Power.
Wish everyone a day free from coe.1 -
