JMA312's Journal, 09 Nov 14

Good morning. It is a rainy, chilly morning here. But I like those days sometimes. Just not when I have to bring my dog or mother out! We won't go out until this afternoon, it is suppose to clear up by then. But my pup likes to go out first thing in the morning. We made it out before the big rain came.
I went to 2 OA meetings yesterday. The first one in the morning (open discussion) is my favorite one and I will continue to go to that one every week. The other on at noon (step study) was further away and it was ok, but I might not get to it every week. There is also an evening one (BB study) in the same area. I might try that one in a few weeks, we will see. I also go to an evening one that is a Big Book study that I'll go to occasionally. It all depends on my mom. She has to go with me unless my brother watches her. I'd rather he watch her when I do something that I can't take her to. The people at the OA meetings really like seeing mom and understand her issues (Alzheimer's).
I've been good with my WOE. I do write down my food in a journal, my sponsor wants me to. That has been an accomplishment for me. I'm also suppose to write my feelings at mealtime and do daily reading and writing. I've been slack in that respect. But today is a good day to get caught up since it is a rainy one. I don't measure my food, something I really DON"T want to do, and I'm happy that my sponsor understands that and is not insistant on doing that. She agrees that I know my body and what I can/can't do and she respects that. Another reason I like this OA group. They are all so understanding.
I've been tempted but still held on to my low carb eating. I may have overate the other day and I felt the result of that last night, my stomach was physically uncomfortable and I felt 'druggy'. I've had a toothache and occasional headaches. I use to use all that to 'run' for sugar, pizza and liquor BUT instead I forced myself to FEEL and acknowledge what was going on in my body. I admit it was difficult to not give into to the urge/cravings and I still am vulnerable to this 'disease' (compulsive/obsessive eating) but I was true to my woe yesterday and will be true right now. Sometimes I have to take it One MOMENT at a time!. Again I have to remember and say to myself, "1 is too many 1000 is not enough" .

Congratulations on your weight loss and your dealing with your feelings. We didn't get where we are because we dealt with feelings easily so we have to learn to deal with them if we want to keep the weight off. Good for you.
