Re: [ Day 1 withdrawal]

[Guest guest]

Hey Pete,

I'm on my new health path too. Mostly for the mood help but also because I'm

negatively effected every time I look into the mirror and see my square shape.

Since I have a bad relationship with food and lousy nutrition I've bought

" Greens " which has dehydrated everything good. Sea algea, lots of vegs, fruits

all in it. A tablespoon a day in juice. Also Gingo Bilibo, vits, whole grains,

juices, more water, more water. Tea, green. I miss the full stomach feeling

more than the food. I also look for candy (or as they say in day care " candy,

candy, CANDY! " and can get this with the energy bars. Just figuer them in with

your calories. If it weren't for getting whoozy from energy dips I'd diet

easily.

See the " Do No Harm " site for a paradym shift in attitude toward diet and

exercise. Maybe we can do that together?

Enjoy that site. Very comforting.

Hi All

Well I've finally decided to go for it and beat this overeating shit

again. This is Day 1. Since I bea it last time the OA way - no sugary

food, 3 meals a day no eating inbetween, I reckon I might as well use

the same method. Went to an OA meeting too. More of that later.

I'm not doing too badly but not perfect. No chocolate or anything

sugary. Went without potato chips and didnt let myself eat between

meals - and now I'm dead hungry. I guess as it's 9:30 I should have

dinner but its my habit to hang on until late - I better change that.

I've got a diet coke to fill me up. I thought of getting a sugary

drink and then remembered: " I dont do this anymore " . I questioned the

" no sugar " rule for a moment and then remembered: " These days I'm

diabetic. Cant have sugar anyway. " so that was the end of that.

My feet have ached and tingled, probably through diabetes, for a few

years now. These days it's starting in my fingers. It could be just my

medication as a side-effect, but I'm worried. I have to beat the

weight before the diabetes beats me - it's that simple.

I guess this isnt an eating disorder support group so I shouldnt be

posting too much about this from now on - but believe me, withdrawing

off food binging gives you cravings like hell. It could be a few

weeks before it stops.

I certainly guess it wouldnt be a good idea to post about using OA to

help beat this thing either, though as I've said before London OA isnt

anything like as bad as the many horrors that Ive heard about XA

elsewhere.

Anyway, Pete is now going to save his ass for the second time, and

this time I intend to keep it safe and normal size.

P.
