Hi everybody! I'm checking in today for my abstinance from processed sugar, artificial sweeteners and sugary baked goods. Accountable odaat with coe here. Its been a little rocky over the last week but I did stick with no sugar abstinance. I ate more than usual a couple of times but thanks to the OA 12 step program I was sober from coe. I'm finding that eating more around my maintenance calorie amount helps a lot in keeping from oe.1

Hello OA folks - I've been abstinent from added sugar since February 2017 (again.) I have known long periods of abstinence in my life, as well as long periods of compulsive overeating.
I'm committing again today - just for today.2 -
I'm here! I'm just trying to figure out the best way to reply to posts. I am defining my abstinence as planned meals and snacks only. I've also been a compulsive overexerciser, so I have to put a limit on my hours logged in exercise as well!1

Good morning, everyone. I'm checking in with my intention to be abstinent from unplanned foods, sugar, and processed foods. Actually, I'm trying to figure out my abstinence plan; 301 was always my plan, with no sugar. Now it's 301 plus a protein snack if I'm hungry. Actually again, that is a trick of my disease - discerning if I'm *really* hungry. Ha! Anyway, I'm logging my food to be accountable, eating planned foods, and I abstain from sugars and white flours.2

Hello everyone - I'm done eating for the day and am grateful for another day of abstinence - free from coe and no sugar. Today I weighed and measured some of my food, which may keep me more honest/accurate.
I know I'm powerless, yes; I believe in a power greater than myself, yes; and once again I turn it over to my HP - grateful for OA.
Thanks, Jill0 -
Jill, thanks for sharing your strength of the steps one, two and three.
I'll do another sugar free day today, turning it over to that Higher Power greater than myself.1 -
Good morning, I'm pledging another day of abstinence, continuing to work the program seeking recovery, with the help of my HP.0

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 -

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
