VeganChic can identify with your no. (2).
1. Waking up hungry, a sign of an abstinent day yesterday.
2. For not blaming myself for one of my clients bad moods yesterday. Just asking HP to remove those feelings I could feel worked.
3. Not rising to my husbands bad mood. I know its because he's physically tired from all the digging
4. Making time for literature and writing my gratitudes.
5. Seeing my son want to make healthier choices with his food because he wants to up his training in Martial Arts.0 -
1. For over one month of abstinence from compulsive overeating
2. For 15 pound weight loss
3. For the meetings i will go to today to try to fix the problems at work
4. For this board that reminds me to use the OA philosophy in dealing with my compulsiveness, not only with what I put in my mouth but what i allow to come out of it.
5. That I figured out what feeling makes me eat, guilt. I may find out that other feelings cause it too, but by paying attention to what i'm feeling when i want to binge this was the big one. Also figured out that by not binging I'm feeling the feelings enough to remember what is causing it.0 -
1. In regards to our meetings, we didn't fix the problems yet at work, but the plan to fix the problems seems doable.
2. I had someone say something about me (behind my back) that was very hurtful and I didn't eat over it. Instead I used the 12 steps to deal with it.
3. I'm beginning to grasp the meaning of the 12 steps and how it can help if you use them. see above.
4. I had a really good night with my husband last night. I really appreciated his presence.
5. It is 245am, I couldn't sleep because I was worrying about life's little messes. Instead of laying in bed worrying i came on here to put my thoughts into words and share.0 -
Nursechery well done for accepting and changing (I know thats also another forum also).

1. Not getting impatient with my Mother when I met up with her.
2. Not allowing hers or my step-fathers negativity about 'life', bring me down, or allowing their mood to become my mood.

4. To have quiet time also today, to read OA and pray to my HP.
5. To miss the flash flood we just had in our area. The UK is flooding dreadfully at the moment. I heard on the radio that our area was experiencing flash flooding, and vehicles breaking down because the drains couldn't cope with the excess water. When I returned home the roads were relatively ok.0 -
Thanks Gilleeman I hope you are safe from the flash floods 0
