I am new to this forum as I need to surround myself with those in a similar situation and where I live there are no OA meetings so I am hoping to build a foundation of knowledge from reading your posts here as what I have been doing so far doesn’t appear to be working.
My counsellor suggested I try OA meeting which I found quite confronting cause it made me feel powerless to my weight and eating habits, and I always fooled myself that I was just always ‘in a mood’ when I ate bad, etc but I now know it goes much deeper.
I have lost about 7 kilos since the start of the year, but it hasn’t been done in a healthy and stable way – mostly gone to extremes and then I binge, so I am trying to cut out white flour, refined sugars, soft drink, white bread and pasta and coffee (As I have 2 sugars) and I can do it sporadically okay but usually then find myself rewarding myself for my good work WITH the food / drink I am not meant to have, and the cycle starts again.
So I look forward to getting to read everyone’s post and hear about their stories and progress!
Thanks for having me,
