I was packing food. Loved being full. Day after day - "I'll never do this again." I married the first guy who asked and had 2 kids by 21. I believed I was a victim . . .of my husband, of my disease of everything. It was always a diet, Goal weight and immediately 'game on' I got caught eating a spoiled sandwich for the first time I was outed for a particular behavior. When I admitted I was a compulsive over-eater I had my own identity for the first time. I embraced the concept of 'No Matter What' from the beginning. I feel anxiety over any change in my food plan. I avoided the God stuff in the beginning. then it changed. |

When I ate I got things done. I was choosing food over shelter. A 300 lbs I felt small. I went to OA, got embraced, hooked and started my recovery. I get an apartment and a job the first week. The foundation of my recovery is honesty. That creates the space for God to come in. My recovery is not a return but a discovery and becoming who I am. I am in multiple 12 steps programs and I need to be. but OA is my home base. I have been through a lot of emotional events and stayed abstinent. Question begin @ 26 minutes. |

Thin to normal until late teens. by 24 years old I added 3 kids and 125 pounds. Tried to manage my weight myself with little results Came to OA 2 years ago, Had 1 short slip after 6 months and now a back on track. I have medical issue and medicine that affects my weight. At one point I would try to make my husband responsible for what I ate. |
