After another desperate food binge, I finally decided to seek help. Not from OA but another 12 step program. I didn’t have much to lose, started at 174.8 pounds and I’m 5”7.
One month down and I’m now 162.3. I am blown away by the result. It’s more than I expected.
A few thoughts on the program.
Speaking to my sponsor every morning really sets me up for the day. Realising that there are other people out there that abuse food and methods to keep the weight off is a huge relief.
The notion of God. I am not a religious person. I honestly thought that joining this program, I could be entering a cult. Realistically, it was about accepting that I need help with losing weight and with my addiction. God can be anything I choose. It could be an amazing elven creature or a chair! It is just asking for that extra holistic help more than that I can provide myself.
I find reaching out to people everyday very difficult. It’s hard when you’re a newcomer and don’t know much people.
Otherwise it’s going well. I’ll update next month when I weigh in again
