JMA312's Journal, 24 Jan 15

I am OK today. UP one day DOWN another, from moment to moment. But I have clarity of mind now. AND sometimes that is scary. I deal with 'feelings' without drowning them with food and getting numb. I don't know if I like this sometimes but I feel so much better with clarity and I know I have to deal with my feelings so I will allow this process to continue. I still don't know how it will work, how it will help, but for some reason I will allow it to continue, after all what do I really have to loose? But the weight and ME. I would always loose myself with the food, with the relationships with trying to be what others thought I should be. Well it has taken 60 years but now it is for ME. I would always say to be TRUE TO YOU True to me, but one phrase I heard today sums it up better; I am enough, I am enough for ME, I use to feel I was NOT enough, I was not skinny enough, smart enough, pretty enough, good enough...etc BUT that is OVER I AM ENOUGH and I feel good. Oh the program I'm in is OA. WOW it has been a journey since my first meeting 9/13/14 I was not sure in that first meeting (these folks are crazy, etc) But now they are my comrades and it is amazing. I still am not sure how this is going to help me but I know I feel good today and that is all I need. I am enough. I went through my step 5 today and that was a BIG thing for me. I feel so good and real. I am enough. :-)

I tried out OA for eight meetings, and I got intimidated with the thought of having to tell someone else what I eat every day, not necessarily because of any kind of food shame, but because it was another task to add to the list. I haven't been to OA in probably six months, but I was thinking just yesterday about going back. I was much younger than a lot of the members, and I was worried about finding a sponsor, etc. But reading this, it's kind of inspired me to reconsider their program to end my food addiction and eating my feelings instead of experiencing them.
