Nice! Today is where it's at! :)

Awesome! Keep coming back! :)

I talked with my sponsor about this very topic this morning! I am impatient...I want to be well yesterday! Time takes time, and I struggle to accept that. Our quick-fix, fast-paced society doesn't help matters either. It boils down to me wanting what I want now. I want an easier, softer way. But I know it is a process, etc…

Welcome! Keep coming back!
-
count me in please. One reason I'm not on here more is I can't (or don't know how) to access forums from my phone, and I don't go on computer except at work...

Boy do I need to grow in this area!
-
I struggle with this as well. Like everything in recovery, I am finding it a process of letting go...
-
BINGO!!!!!
-
Keep coming back!

A couple of things that have been suggested to me: 1) Buy a kitchen scale. Weigh everything. That way you don't have to eyeball portions but can truly eat the recommended serving size. 2) Pre-portion all your food for the day. Takes some time, but I pre-portion and cook all of my food each day for the next day. Tupperware…

Recovery is a journey of learning to love ourselves and take care of ourselves.

Me either! Good stuff!

Some people who live in areas where there aren't many OA meetings also go to AA meetings for their compulsive overeating (there are a ton of them no matter where you live) and mentally substitute "food" when people say "alcohol", "eating" for "drinking", etc. Same steps...same solution.
-
That's good! My sponsor tells me all the time "Just do the next right thing". Everything else will be ok!
-
I did it! Ran the whole way, didn't walk, my time was 33:35. Finished 170th out of 364 overall. They haven't posted age group results yet.

Today I am grateful for the steps and my support network. Going through some stuff today and reached out and shared instead of eating my feelings. God is good!

Hello and welcome! I am newly back to OA myself...had gone to meetings for 4-5 months last year but didn't stick with it. What I like about OA is the people I met who are dealing with the same problems I deal with. I have received a lot of love and acceptance. The 12 Steps of OA worked with a sponsor can definitely bring…

I struggle with this too. Hard to sit and feel the feelings at times.
-
Amen! Life is good! ...one day at a time!

My commitment today is to run 2 miles (and only 2 as I am running in my first 5K on Saturday!)

I've had some success lately with the apple trick I read about somewhere. If I think I am hungry, I stop and ask myself "Am I hungry enough to eat a whole apple right now?" More often than not, I'm not so I don't snack!

Hi Carrie! Welcome and keep coming back! Friend request sent!
-
I am working with new OA sponsor - yesterday shared my Food History I wrote out with him, today my commitment is to read Step 1 in the 12 and 12 so we can discuss.
-
The same for me. I weigh in every Monday...try not to focus too much on the number. More interested in how I feel, how my clothes fit, and above all how my conscious contact with my Higher Power is going
-
Stick to my eating plan, run 2 miles
-
I'm grateful for OA and this board
