Its 2012 hope that people will keep posting anything you want to share readings, shares etc that you find to be helpful since this is not OA group it can be from any 12 step literature I am open to that as we are not breaking traditions. With that being said
Here is one from Food For thought that I really liked
Decision
Someone has said the hardest part of the OA Program is making the decision to followit. You can do just about anything once you make up your mind to do it! But the decision has to be firm and it must be the kind of commitment, which involves our deepest self.
Many of us who are compulsive overeaters have spent our lives looking for an easier way to lose weight. We feel that there should be a magic solution somewhere which will enable us to eat our cake and be thin at the same time. Our first reaction to the OA program is often one of dismay. It seems so drastic, and we protest that there must be an easier way.
The OA program is not easy. Life is not easy. Rather than solving the problems and difficulties in our lives, overeating, multiplies them. We in OA have been offered a new way of life. Each of us decide every day-- and man times every day-- whether or not we will choose the new life.
May I decide to follow the program today.
