Hey Gymgurl.
Your abstinence definition could be:
6 small meals a day with nothing in between
no sugar
no refined flour
eating a minimum of ______ calories per day (so that you don't restrict)
That's it. Simple.
As for your food plan-- I recommend that you look at what is recommended by a trainer or nutritionist for someone who is in training for what you do. There are likely some recommendations for how much protein, carbs, and fat that you need in a day. Then, break up that amount over 6 meals.
I also recommend that if you don't have a copy of OA's 12 Steps and 12 Traditions, that you get one and read step one.
A sponsor is valuable for many reasons. She will be an accountability partner, an honest outside perspective, a wealth of information to answer questions, a big support, and a cheerleader.
