It has been awhile since I've written on my blog & I've had so much to write too! I have been very busy living life. It is only recovery that has allowed me to do so. I will write later but wanted to touch base quickly. I have 155 days abstinence now!! That is over 5 months! Last time I weighed myself I was 241 lbs (big difference from 450!) and 44% body fat. Things are looking up. When I first became abstinent I was looking forward to getting back into my size 28 pants. Now I just purchased a pair of 18 jeans. Whoooohoooo. Here are some 12 step OA sayings I have collected recently:

F.E.A.R. - Face Everything And Recover

D.E.N.I.A.L - Don't Even Know I Am Lying

I am powerless over food......not footwork!

In the times of sanity....prepare for the times of insanity.

I am not a bad person trying to get good, I am a sick person trying to get well.

Insanity is when food talks. Further insanity is when I listen. The worst insanity of all is when I believe every word it says!

Every meeting is a payment on your loan of abstinence.

I want to be "a size of dignity".

Step 11 is medicine that puts compulsive overeating in remission.

B.I.N.G.E.-Because I'm Not Good Enough

I'm a PH.D. Piling in in Higher & Deeper

The disease is physical. The cause is emotional. The cure is spiritual.

We are what we repeatedly do.

What is revealed, will be healed.

I pray all coe's & fa's everywhere will be healed.

Peace and love,

Amy
