The more the merrier. :)

Congrats on the 77 lbs! That's impressive. My goal is 60-70. But right now I'll take 5 at a time. I'll keep it nice as to not get reported, but I can give a good *kitten* kicking too.

My thoughts exactly. Wha???

It think I will fall in the abstainers category as well. Will definitely check it out. Thanks.

Moe303- I think so. First time doing this community thing. "Quote" and reply, just getting hang of it. Thanks for the encouragement.

True statement. Thought maybe I offended you. I agree whole heartedly with your statements. I have friends who are recovering alcoholics, also have those that have overcome Meth(to whomever replied with that statement). No matter the addiction, it's a struggle and is easier to handle when you have people to turn to that…

Thanks for sharing. I completely understand. It's so easy to go into the downward spiral. One day at a time is now my motto.

Was that question for me? Or did I miss a post?

I may check online for the OA site. I know it's a sign of binging when I go into the next room to not be seen eating. It's hard not to keep any sweets in the house. I do have a 5 year old. However- hers IS giving in moderation and not given as rewards. I think that's part of our problem today? Sad, lets eat. Happy, lets…

Awesome. I will check into this.

Not critical at all. Sweets are my triggers. Cannot have them around me. Opened Girl Scout cookies yesterday for a few, before you know it, the bag was gone! I appreciate all the feed back. I know I'm not alone in the world, just good to hear all the other struggles and how they overcame them.

To Jack_NYC, I never looked at it that way. You are right. An recovering Alcoholic doesn't have to stock the home with booze, unfortunately we have to have food to survive. One day at a time is the only way to fix this.

Thanks everyone for the advise. It does make since to omit 1 thing at a time. I need to stay if the scale. That's my biggest down fall too. As long as it's moving in the right direction, I do great, but the minute I see if go the otherway, I get discouraged. Baby steps. It will get done.

Never tried OA-will look in to that. I'm good once I get into the swing of things, just can't "fall off the wagon".

Absolutely! The more friends we get, the easier it is to stay motivated.

I am looking forward to trying this recipe. My husband isn't a fan of stewed tomatoes, so we are trying with Rotel's diced tomatoes with lime juice and cilantro. I hope it turns out as good as yours does.
