DITTO! I know what works best for me..... Early morning prayer / meditation / working on a step question / emailing my food for the day Talking to my sponsor - reading my answer However, just this week, my sponsor and I realized that our relationship wasn't working. If I'm REALLY honest, I'm flaky. I am self-will run-riot…

I agree! I for one am willing to increase my activity level on it. "Where two or more are gathered...." :) I also know others on this site who are also in program. I'll contact them and ask them if they'd be willing. We can get this site going! Maybe have daily check-ins and accountability? Share definitions of abstinence?…

Bless your heart! I hear your pain and the desperation in your writing. I can relate to that feeling. The GOOD NEWS is it sounds as if you've hit "your bottom". I know, for me, until I was so demoralized and sick and tired of being sick and tired, I wasn't willing to make the necessary changes I needed, to make life-long,…

Great topic! I had this question, too, when I first joined MFP. I find MFP to be a wonderful tool and it helps me stay honest and accountable about my food. At first I was diligent about putting every morsel that went in my mouth on that diary and it was good. It, too, however, can mess with my head. I did find, however, I…

Hello Beth! I've not been as regular on this site as I like. I log on to record my weight, track my exercise at times and sometimes my food. (I can get a little obsessive about that, so I have to watch it, however. Gratefully, I live in Southern California, so there are quite a few meetings from which to choose....so why…

Good morning, Polly! I'm in OA and have used MFP on and off. How I use it though, is different than some. I use it to track my weight and measurements, the community, and only OCCASIONALLY the Food Diary. I really like the IDEA of the Food Plan, but sometimes it makes me a little crazy. My sponsor suggested that it might…

Good morning, all! My name is Laurel, and I"m a recovering compulsive eater. I'm SO thrilled to find this group on MFP! I, too, know that OA is the only answer for me as well. I ALSO know, that I have been around the rooms of OA for years, attending meetings, doing service, and even following a food plan. However, it…

OH, Sister! I know how you feel!! I'm literally addicted to junk food! For me, I have to find something else to do to get my mind off my hunger or try to figure out WHY I"m wanting to eat junk. What am I not wanting to feel? For those who encouraged just "a bit of sweet"......Please learn from my mistake(s). I wish I could…

Wow! How I wish I could eat sugar in moderation! On too many occasions I've tried it "just this time" and end up eating a lot more than I intended. I knew I had to give up sugar once and for all when I ate one dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. (I deluded myself into thinking I was taking them home to my family?!) Believe it or…

Ditto! I'm in!! I just have to figure out how to add people?! (First week here.)

Bless your heart! I, too, have struggled with depression my whole life and KNOW that it has a lot to do with my weight issues and visa versa. I also know that there are things that I can do to mitigate the damage of the depression: namely stay away from sugar and exercise daily. I fight tooth and nail NOT to do these…

I'm drinking a lot more water....I can't believe how many times I think I'm hungry when I'm actually thirsty. Something else that has helped me recently is writing. (I've been told that it isn't really about the food, but about the feelings I'm covering up and don't want to feel.) When I concentrate and ask myself, "What…

LOVE the jar idea, Torra - thanks! I would love to have the cardio workout schedule your trainer gave you.
