Default Newcomer Introduction

Hi,

I have been reading numerous posts and lurking in many forums for a few weeks now. I have finally decided it was time to introduce myself.

My name is Leah, 28 married with 2 gorgeous little girls. I have ofcourse tried many times to lose the weight and suceeded only to gain it back. I recently found a local OA group and started going. I am trying to work the program with WW, 3 meals a day, only drinking in between and have cut out sugar for now.
I am also journaling my food and thoughts daily.

I have yet to find a sponser which I know it really important and I am happy for ANY recommendations. I know I can not do this alone.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Thanks for listening.

Leah

Hi Leah!



I'm so happy you've already found the OA section. You may also like to check out the WW area.

The best of luck with your program.

welcome leah,

you might try trg.org (the recovery group) they have online meetings and you may be able to find a sponsor there if you can't find one locally.

so glad you found OA...keep going back!

Hi Leah,
Welcome to this site. It is going to be key to find a Sponsor. So many new comers view their food plan as the most important part of recovery from food addiction/overeating and it is only one of the tools.
As you work the Steps 1 thru 12 and learn the traditions you will be amazed as the Promises begin coming true for you.
Keep posting here and keep coming back, your f2f meetings are your lifeline to peace and serenity.
