Guest guest Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 thanks Jen. I woke up this morning and binged immediately... so, today is not looking food. this is three days in a row. I'm just not taking care of myself. I am pushing everyone away. I'm very frustrated and know that there is this beautiful life right around the corner, but I'm stuck waiting for a bus that will never come, convinced of nothing. tomorrow it is.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Avie, don't wait for tomorrow (it never comes) - start now, start today ... each time you put something in your mouth, it's an opportunity to do either a pre-do or a re-do. What you did this morning is over -- you're starting again, right now! Don't wait for the bus, go to the next stop (maybe the one you're waiting at is the wrong one!) ________________________________ From: onewhorled <onewhorled@...> weightloss Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2011 8:11 AM Subject: Re: IOWL thanks Jen.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Avie, I tend to have a hard time in the period between Purim and Passover. There's a whole month of cleaning (or thinking about cleaning) with a really obsessive focus on food, followed by... a week of obsessing about food. All the food you won't be allowed to eat during passover, so you better eat more now--then all the foods you only eat during passover, so you might as well eat up.... This year I found that one of the hardest things was not having the time I needed for renewing, for proactive self-correcting. Sooooo... Time for redos. I have started the day with some self-correcting, and I have a plan (pre-do) in place for more. Avie, you have often mentioned your need for attention. Have you considered looking into some sort of community theater? It might be an outlet for that side of you--a positive way to get attention, a way to make friends and connections... If there's an OA group near you, go for it.I think you need support in " real life " , not just online.
