some wonderful things

  • Some wonderful things that make up for the fact that my weight loss can be slow:
    • I’m learning so so much about nutrition, and I can feel the results in my body.
    • I have tons more energy than I had 5 years ago!
    • I am slowly learning to sit with the longing to binge and to see that it really does pass.
    • These days, I don’t hesitate to buy organic food when I can. I have a juicer, and make a fresh veg juice daily and my skin is glowing as a result.
    • I am there for people in a deeper sense. I’m not ‘all about the food’. Before OA, I might be talking to you at a party, but I would be quite agitated, wondering when my fix would happen.
    • Today, I enjoy the food I am eating, while I am eating it. Before OA, I could not even savour the forkful of food in front of me, I was so crazily obsessed with the NEXT bite.
    • I am getting better at reaching out and asking for help. My life depends on it. These days it’s about expression, not repression.
    • I am quicker to take action to sort out a problem, and get the ensuing peace of mind that follows.
    • My relationship with a Higher Power is deepening to the extent that I now trust I will continue to be restored to sanity, and my correct weight, as long as I am willing to show up for that process of change, and to put the action in.
    Wishing everyone a good day.
