What helps me the most: Telling me not volunteer to do something I will resent and be angry about. (Wow, I’ve done this my whole life)

Bike riding last night I spoke to God my Lord and Savior. Wow!
I asked him to help me remember, “I am no longer in control of what I eat because I make the wrong choices. And I give control to him.) I…[Read more]

Dinner finished ~ my husband snuck some before I could take my after picture

I would suggest spearmint gum, hot tea, or something with caffiene.
When I am nauseated, spearmint helps me.

Hi,

I just finished my first week and lost 10 lbs. I’m still hungry. I’m mentally strong, but I’m feeling super weak and sorta shakey inside. I leave for Hawaii for 6 days on Sunday and I really want to swim, snorkel,…[Read more]

Thank you Dr Lewis,
I think I should explain something I don’t blame God for anything. I blame myself for not letting him be in control of my overeating. I am learning to submit to him through prayer and I acknowledge I am powerless over food when I am resentful or stressed. I need to humble myself and let him take all the desire for foods…[Read more]

Corey, I can see a huge difference in your face. It looks thinner. keep going.

Go 5 bite girl! We are cheering and praying for you.

I had 6 perfect days and went from 190 to 184. (this was at the doctor during the day both times) Thats the first time I have had 6 perfect days.

I’m learning now that for me.
Resentment makes me angry and I don’t care about anything. Even myself. Yesterday Day 7 was good until 4PM. I was craving ice cream and nothing was going to stop me.…[Read more]

Corey, You can chew sugar free gum. I do it all the time.
Dr Lewis said if you don’t swallow it, it doesn’t put any carbons in your stomach.
I like to use Spearmint gum whenever I get the hunger pains. That and hot tea.

Sharlet, Thank you for your input.
I had to find the trigger that was causing me to eat.
It’s not just an excuse. It’s an emotional problem and we all have them.
I think 5 bite would be more successful if people could figure out their triggers. I just finished Day 4 and it was perfect.

Then do it, Shelly! Go for it! If you say you can do it, I believe you. Live up to that assertion. I’m here for you!

Hi Sharonmarie!

Thank you so much!
I am using OA as a learning tool to figure out why I eat and binge the cravings.
I tried a sponsor but it wasn’t what I needed.
I’m learning more by studying the AA book and the AA big book study guide for COE.
Looking back, after I lost the weight in 2015 and then put it back on again.

Problem: People…[Read more]
