I am so inspired by how much so many here have endured. Health, divorces, illness, children, jobs...I look at the 17 year-old faces I teach everyday and just wish they'd never grow up. Yet, I know it is my charge to equip them with as many life skills as possible where possible. They have no idea what is around the bend.…

NOAHBSMOM - I am about in your shoes and welcome. I recommend recording food in the diary on this site, because most of the time you haven't crashed as badly as you think! There are some great ladies here. SHARON - I want to tell you some of what I learned going through something similar to you with my husband #2, in case…

Good Morning! Today is Day 6, and I am fairly certain I will make it through ONE MORE DAY of non-obsessive eating. I had planned to go to a nearby town in Mississippi for a 3rd OA meeting yesterday, but I just came home and crashed (not getting enough sleep for sure) and had zero energy, so I will go with my friend Sat.…

Good Morning All, I love Thursdays because tomorrow is Friday; I am worse than the kids. I want to thank Macho Kymara Terry Beth Charlie Ann Barbara for your general encouragement and some for specific insights into OA. I went to a 2nd meeting last night with my friend who is a returning member. I bought another book. I…

Good Evening! I am going to say that I have made it through Day 2. My friend took me to an OA meeting and I tenuously liked it. The other women were so kind and open and encouraging. One had a picture of herself 150 pounds ago and she has kept it off for 17 years. I have often heard that people do not go to 12 Step…

Good morning everyone, I am so cautiously entering into what I hope will be successful day 2. Day 1 was not hard but that means nothing about today. That it was a weekend day helped. Went to 5 pm mass. Today school amps up. Tonight my friend is taking me to Overeaters Anonymous and I am still apprehensive about it, but…

As usual, I have started out with a good breakfast and pray that things don't fall apart in the afternoon and evening as usual. Checked out the Mayo Diet but lots of that seems redundant with tools available here for free; Mayo plan is $4/week. Still writing down goals, but unable to get the fitness part going. My…

I have just started tonight (again) with the fitness and food tracker that worked well for me a few years ago. Never have done the discussions. My goal for March is to bring better organization into many parts of my life and do exert self-control over eating and exercising. trying to have more insight into myself and…

I am starting the trackers tonight. Logged all the awful food I ate and then wrote a loooong note and then forgot to save it. Oh well. I am 68 year old teacher and I need to lose about 70 pounds. I have done a lot of yo-yo'ing over the years. I like this tracker because numbers don't lie, and at one time - maybe 6 years…
