Just This Once

Emma Stuart (okay, not really, those are my cats' names) and I am a compulsive overeater.  I don't plan to promote this blog or share it with anyone.  It is what it is... a place for me to be honest about my program and if someone does come across it maybe it will help them as well.  I don't deign to say.  As of today, I am day three into abstinence from compulsive overeating.  I am using a food plan that is three meals a day and no sugar or refined flours.  So far so good.  When I weighed in yesterday, 1 April, I was 237.5 pounds and I'd like to be about half of that but we'll see.

My issues are sugar and volume, so along with no sugar, I also weigh and measure the foods that I do eat at home.  I eye ball closely at restaurants.  My program is my own for the moment, as I've not gone back to three-dee OA meetings yet.  I have done the online meetings and they are helpful, but more than that I listen to several hours of program from the OA LA website daily.  My iPod has over 300 hours of ESH from the folks in LA, or the OA Mecca.  I plan to get to the noon OA meeting tomorrow, it was my first meeting when I went back in October and it's a smaller intimate meeting.  I hope to get the the Saturday morning meeting as well.  I am in a unique position to really focus on my program, put my program first and that's my plan.  It's a gift and I want to accept it graciously and use it to my advantage and betterment.
