Today is day 14 of my abstinence and wanted to end my day by posting. This marks the end of my eating for the day. I just pray I can get through the night without taking another bite. I still have habits that are a big no no for most OAers across the nation, but I guess we are all on our own track in this journey and in life. For example, I weigh myself daily, actually twice daily so I constantly know when my weight moves even a fraction. I still pay too much attention to how much i weigh and how much I lost. BTW, I lost 10 pounds in two weeks. I know some will say that is too much, but when you have this much to lose it really isn't. I keep counting in my head where my weight will be in one week, one month, two months etc…if i lose 2 pounds weekly. It is obsessive and compulsive and I don't care. I am so sick of being fat. It is scary that I am morbidly obese per my bmi. One of my first goals is just being obese and than overweight and than the high side of a normal weight. I definitely belong here in OA. I definitely need to post to other OA'ers to stay accountable. I make it all day without thinking about food, but find it hard after i get home from work. My husband makes it even harder sometimes when he says things like I'm hungry or will go into the kitchen at night making good smelling foods. I came on here now because that is what he is doing. So, I'm going to go watch one of my favorite shows and than go to sleep. I can make it one hour without eating and go to sleep. Thanks for listening if you did. And, if no one listened thats okay too. My HP hears all.

    We are here and listening loud and clear. I hope you made it through, you deserve it because you're WORTH IT!!!

    There was a lot of me in your post. I may not have as many lbs to lose, but the mental torture is there always. I pray daily to have the thoughts removed and to be happy and relaxed in my recovery.

    Thank you for continuing to be there.
