My wish is to have my portion needs reduce naturally, and as I am dealing with my emotions and attending online meetings, and meeting people here - it is happening!  I am starting to feel better.  I had a meltdown today and then cried for hours, but at the end I really could see hope and realize that I was dealing with my feelings instead of self-medicating!

I have been joining things and researching things, and going to online meetings for 3 or 4 days now.  

I still don't have a good idea of where I am going or what it will be like!

What will abstinence be like for me?  What will be different?  How will I know that I am on the right path?

When will I get a sponsor?  So much to think about!

Holiday weekend, so I will have a lot of time on my hands wondering when my husband will be home.  He is working crazy hours because he is a Field Operations manager for the US Census.  He doesn't have time to look for another job, but this one will just end in September or so.  It is really scary for us.

To all, have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

Turns out that I have another sinus infection that is causing me to be dizzy and sleepy.  He gave me a good antibiotic so hopefully it will be gone soon.

When I have a sinus infection, it really gets me down in the dumps with depression and low energy.   It is like coming into the sunshine to know that I am physically sick and that I can be better soon!

I need to get my head around losing weight.  It is like I am denial about my body all the time.  I don't even relate to it.

Thanks for your support,

Sally

Hi,

I am not sure what I am going to do here, or what is the "right way".  I need support, and I am willing to support others.  

I have a long history of addictive behaviors and just found out last year that I am BiPolar.  That explains a lot!  LOL

I was approved last year for Social Security Disability for multiple physical and emotional conditions.

Just signed up for a number of Newcomers activities online with Overeaters Anonymous.  I am so happy to see the online versions of meetings and tools that are available now.  I went to meetings when I was in high school, and it is very different now!

I need to repair the emotional stuff so that I can reduce the amount of food that I need, and to lose weight to improve my health.  I have a number of conditions, like diabetes, high cholesterol and triglycerides, high blood pressure and more that would be better if I weighed less.

I look forward to making new friends and improving my life.

Thank you,

Sally
