    Tonight at my meeting I celebrated 2 years of abstinence from eating between planned meals and desserts. I got a big beautiful chip, and a chance to reflect on how I feel now compared to a year ago. I also pulled out the old fat pictures to remind myself of where I came from before OA.

    Each day of the last two years has been a blessing and a reprieve. Thank you God.
  • Congratulations to you! That's a wonderful accomplishment
  • Wow! Amazing

  • What is the premis of OA, I've thought about attending, I believe there is one in my area. I love that you give thanks to the Lord!

  • Congrats Marny! The way you seem to be working the program and still learning is a testament to the power of this way of dealing with our compulsive overeating or other food issues. You are a leader and an inspiration.
  • Thanks guys for all your support. It's wonderful to have this place to share my good news.
  • YAY Marny! Way to go. You've been blessed by your HP. Thank you for sharing!
  • Hi Marny,
    I remember when I first joined our group on 3 fat chicks. You made me feel so welcomed. It was through your suggestions that I got started off on the right track, esp. the red, green and yellow food lists. Then later you talked about Sponosoring and now I have 2 Sponsees and I enjoy being on their journey with them.
    I am down 3 dress sizes and I am socializing more and exercising all the time.
    Thank you Marny so very much.
