Congratulations on joining OA! I hope you have a good meeting tomorrow. My next meeting isn't until Wednesday night. I usually go Saturday morning and Wednesday night and if I'm needing a meeting between I'll catch either Friday or Sunday night too.
I'm glad you like the fact that we have no scales at our meetings. How can a scale measure the fact that we didn't eat dessert after a dinner out with friends or passed on the birthday cake at work!
I'm a Christian too and OA has helped enrich and clarify my relationship with Jesus (Higher Power).
I hope everyone enjoyed a successful Labor Day holiday without extra food or guilt. I spent my day with friends and family. It started out with a quiet breakfast with my husband, then watching my 2 month old grandson while my husband and our daughter went out for coffee and 'coffee talk' then we rode our motorcycles with 4 other bikes all over Pennsylvania - 155 miles total from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. I'm pooped! But I will remember HALT - don't get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired. Right now I'm tired but I won't eat over it.
I'm grateful to have this message board so I can keep honest with my food and feelings and stay on the OA beam!
Hugs!
