I’m checking in at the end of an abstinent day, and I’m feeling grateful to have the urges to compulsively eat removed - just for today.
Have a good evening!0 -
Good morning!
I’m pledging my commitment to my ongoing recovery here today. I’m claiming my powerlessness, and acknowledging my need for a power greater than myself to continue in my program of recovery.
Here’s wishing you a good day!0 -
Just found this group on MFP today...so I'm checking in! I'm 7 months abstinent as of today! My POE is to only eat planned meals and avoid compulsive food behaviors.1

End of the day check in for me and adhered to my plan by the grace of my HP. I'm grateful to hold onto food sobriety and to work the steps with my home group!

It's been a few days, but checking in to commit to my abstinence, with my HP at the wheel. I'm grateful to be in Program to claim my seat. The weather has been so beautiful that I've been spending my time outdoors and less online, but I commit to check in periodically. As the Easter holiday approaches, I'm sending everyone blessings, and wishing you all a great, abstinent day!0

Hello ladies! So nice to see you on here and to be checking in. Welcome musiclaydo! Abstinent 3+ months now and working with a sponsor daily now for about a month. I did what you suggested Felicia, I let my sponsor come to me, a gentle breeze and there she was. I commit to my abstinent today by the grace of God. I put everything in his hands. Happy day all!

That's great to hear, Nancy! I've been working on my recovery offline, while enjoying the great outdoors (home projects). Wishing you a great, abstinent day!0 -
Checking in to claim my abstinence, just for today, for the next 24 hours. I won't be checking in as often, as this forum appears to be inactive. Wishing you all a great recovery and program experience. Please reach out to me personally (IM) if you're looking to connect with a fellow OAer, otherwise, I won't be spending time here, unless it becomes active again.

Where is everyone? Is this group still active? I am checking in my 1st day after a period of disastrous eating. Avoiding WHEAT. This is my trigger.0

The group isn't active, but I do check in periodically.
It's great that you've identified what triggers you. but you may want to also address what resulted in your "diastrous eating." This can be accomplished through working the steps.0 -
Checking in to claim my seat in Program. I've been on and off, but re-booting my food plan and working the steps to remain abstinent, by the grace of my HP, of course.
Wishing everyone out there a great, abstinent Day!1 -
I guess I’ve been Abstinent from compulsive overeating for over 3 weeks, because I’ve stayed within my food plan with no extra bites .
I just started my physical recovery and ask me how I feel at the end of the year or next spring when the last 71# will be off .0 -
Abstinence check in today Saturday , 7/27/24.
Yes, ate within my prescribed food plan so can say ABSTINENT TODAY !
YAY ! ☀️🌸0 -
Abstinence check-in for Saturday, August 10, 2024.
So basically I’ve been Abstinent from compulsive overeating and my negligible weight losses are slowly adding up to something significant.
That’s the secret to weight loss in the era of digital scales -I’ve noticed it before- you stay practically the same , losing 0.1 or 0.3 or 0.6 , something that common sense would say is staying the same, stayed the same, stayed the same , stayed the same.
Then, all of a sudden, boom ! I’ve lost like 10#s or 20#s !
And you’re there,“HEY! How did THAT Happen?!“
Lovely sunny day to everyone! ☀️🌸0
