I found that when I stopped using shampoo that added body and volume, I lost some weight. I tried to not let it run down my body for a while, but that really hurt my neck......

I usually do something in the crock pot that I'll use for meals. I do some freezer cooking--mainly just taking boneless chicken breasts when they are on firesale and sauce, freezing as a "marinade" and crocking for my meals. BBQ Jelly Chicken 3/4 cup Ketchup 3/4 cup Blackberry Jam (Strawberry, peach, and apricot also work…

I pick up my 30 pound nephew by his feet and do tricep dips with him. He loves it and I've gotten more definition out of my triceps the more he weighs! He also enjoys being "cleaned and pressed" and hanging on to my neck while I do push ups with hime. We're working on me bench pressing him but he's too young to get the…

I cook for an entire week at a time. I make eggs for breakfast for the week to reheat (peppers, onions, eggs, cheese) and have had success making them "burritos" and heating up for the week with some cheese and salsa and about 2 minutes in the microwave. I undercook them a little so they don't get rubbery in the reheat. I…

Hi, I hear you, I've stopped logging because it feels like a "diet" when I do. I think OA is great because it gives us tools for recovery. We're all not the same and we don't have the same triggers. For a while I tried to tell myself that carbs were not my trigger and a life without pizza wasn't a life. I also realize that…

I'm in, how do we start this?

It's not for everybody but something to consider. I'm not sure I agree wholeheartedly with 15, because lack of a plan is planning to fail, but here's what clicked for me: Are You a Compulsive Overeater? Now that you have found Overeaters Anonymous, you may want to make sure our program is right for you. Many of us have…

Ignore his lack of social skills and get back in there. My workout partner is 5', I'm 5'10". I rerack most of her weights because she can't lift them to the height required to actually get them off where they're racked. Today I had to pull down the lat bar for her to do her exercise and she commented "I was standing on the…

When you think new drivers look like they're 10, not the 16 the law says they have to be When you get excited about getting carded, but look at the guy like "are you serious? It's been about 15 years since anyone's done this" When the children you babysit when you were 12 now have children

Agreed. Boundaries. Therapy. Codependent no more helped me a great deal, I have it in print and on my kindle. My mom gets on me for my weight and my sister for not eating. Whenever my mom is hurt by someone she lashes out at me about my weight. I used to eat my feelings, now I just look at it as I can only please me and if…

So this morning I brought a contraption with me to help me do pull ups. We don't have a pull up assist machine and I'm working on getting a pull up done. It's part of the workout that I am doing right now. 3 guys offered to help me figure out how to set up my contraption and gave me pointers. One guy was actually impressed…

You're not alone in this struggle. For myself: I've had to make the decision that trigger foods can't even enter my house, that way they don't get eaten. I was gripping my santity by my fingernails for the first few days, but I find if I can't get the food, I can't get into the food and I have to change how I think about…

Great job Heather! I've been in OA for over a year and this is the first time I've been abstinent for more than a day. ODAAT

14 days, finally. It's helping with my mindset to have this many days in a row of abstinence!

Yum, thanks for the great ideas!

You, friend, may have changed my life with this Mason Jar Salad thing. I'm totally trying this my next prep day!

I'm a totally planner and I realize it's not for all. I do a lot of freezer meals and meal prep. Fair warning, this looks a little overwhelming, but with repitition it takes me a fraction of the sum total of time it takes me to "decide" what I want in the morning every morning. I work a lot and cook for 1, so I eat a lot…

1995 purple geo metro. I had the 4th cylinder, so I had air conditioning. Had to turn it off when trying to accelerate, though.

^^^^^this.

I'm in. Yesterday I ate more than I planned at dinner. I didn't beat myself up about it. I got into bed early so I could hit the gym this morning. I am glad that I went to bed early. Today is a new day and I feel better about it! FR sent to everyone I'm not friends with on this list, I think. If I missed you, feel free to…

Thank you. I work in Health Care so I hope they do, but I'm totally stealing this!

Love, love, love, love it. It's small, the strap is comfortable, and I feel it keeps a pretty accurate heart rate. And it's so smart it even wished me a happy birthday the other day! :)

Oh, no worries, it happens. I have unrack and rerack the weights of the friend who I'm doing the program with all the time. She's shorter than me and can't pick up a lot of the weights because they're usually racked too high for her to grab or put back. You're there and you're lifting heavy. Just grin at him when you go…

Hugs, I'm sorry for your loss.

Welcome. FR sent!

Ditch the "stinkin thinkin". You can do this and you have all the tools to do it. And it sounds like you're working them admirably. I had to be less "rigid" with my food plan. I would "write out" what I was going to eat that day and then have a better offer and go off the rails. Now I plan my day and if I get invited out…

Glad you're hear. FR sent!
