Show Notes
From Early childhood always full plates. Both parents were compulsive eaters.
I learned how to sneak food without being heard or discovered.
I was the only kids in the point system program with my mom. I did not get it and hated it.
i went to college at about 300 lbs. I learned all about nutrition but it didn't help me.
My parents encouraged me to try OA. Much of my life was working but not my food.
I did my first meeting on Zoom and cried and still felt at home.
In the beginning is was all about the weight and I did not embrace all the work
The steps helped me to acknowledge I was perfectly imperfect.
The concept of a higher power did not come easily but it has come to me.
Even if I don't enjoy me feelings I allow them without turning to the food one day at a time.
