    my very favorite it the one "one bite is too much and a thousand is never enough". I have to keep that in my mind on certain foods. I cannot ever start eating them.

    One very wise sponsor told me that the OA 12 step program is just "repentence for dummies". I love that.

    --Don't overeat, no matter what, and go to meetings.

    --FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real

    --YET: Yours Eventually Too ("I'VE never been morbidly obese...yet." Antidote to self righteousness and comparisons.)

    --Principles, Not Personalities

    --Coincidence is God's Anonymity

    --Three Meals a Day with LIFE In-Between

    --We Can Do Something for 24 Hours that would appall us if we felt we had to keep it up for a lifetime

    F E A R--- future events already ruined

    Your only as sick as your secrets

    Take what you like and leave the rest

    What other people think of me is none of my business

    A sponsee ask his sponsor, " how long have you been sober?" His sponsor said, " all day"
    we only have one day, that is all we need to think about.

    Have a good day:)

    I heard from a fellow 12-stepper, "Just for today, I'm not gonna wreck my life." I thought it was hilarious! I love that one.
