Show Notes
Being a hundred pounder came with the shame that I let it get that bad. Now it is with acceptance of my recovery.
Came in OA at 24 years old 375 lbs.
Food was my solution for a dificult childhood. I kept that solution when that danger was no longer there.
There were clues along the way which did not work.
I wanted to win on my own ... Got gave me the tools, if I failed it was on me.
I was excited to get to day 30. After that was day 31.
As I approached the 100 lb mark I had the thought I was loosing part of who I am.
I am the same weight I was at 13 but now I am safe and surrounded with people who love me, and I love me.
Doing it on my terms did not work.
I am no longer defined by my weight, good or bad.
My current anxiety and drama is not longer because of my wheight. it is because I am human.
