OEA has offered me an opportunity to address my addiciton with food. Just like an alcoholic has an addiction to alcohol, my addiction is food. I have been away from my support group and I am going to go back this week. I have decided to accept help and select a sponsor. I thought I could do it on my own but I see that I can not. So today I have made a choice to face my sickness and make a change. No longer will I be held a prisoner to my illness and succomb to the call of food.
 
I just finished eating carbs and sugar that I did not need and was not really hungry for. But it was there and it was available so I did what I have done in the past, I ate it until it was gone. Now I feel horible and sick inside and wish I could vomit everything to feel empty again. It is time for me to choose abstinence again and leave those things alone. Maybe I should call for help an ask for assitance, is it too late?
 
Thank you God for showing me that I need help!

    i understand that food addiction is particularly difficult to shake because the fact is we all need to eat, unlike any other addiction. i wish you luck in your quest, ray.

    silver...it's over eaters anonymous...

    ray I'm a weight watcher at the moment and have struggled with it for EVER it seems.  I feel your pain buddy.  Walk in the here and now and listen to only the good....not the negative self talk.  You can do this today.  Then tomorrow you can do tomorrow.  I'll keep you in my thoughts.

    Hugs

    Oh thank you both for listening and your support. I also attend Weight Watchers and just keep picking myself up over and over again until I finally get it right.

    OEA is overeaters anonymous.
