OOOHHHH AYYYYYY!

I went to an OA meeting a week ago. Been thinking about it for a while now, but just got the opportunity to try it out. I've been struggling lately with the urge to eat and eat and eat, diabetes be damned. I understand that I need real support to deal with my friend the coping mechanism of eating. Funny, but every time I try to face my food issues head on things fall apart.

I've been going through lots of transition lately, and facing old fears and failures. As a result, my eating has flared up...(hellooo coping). Of course I always try to tackle everything at once and then am mystified when I can't seem to drag myself out of bed. One step at a time, Mollye. One step at a time.
So, I am declaring right now, that I am aware of my coping mechanisms. I know that they will not go away overnight, and that I have been under new stress lately, so they are flaring. This is not the end of the world. My weight loss is not over, I will not relapse completely. I will breath in and out and start again fresh each day. I WILL use my coping as an indicator telling me that I need to pay better attention to my inner life, and take better care of myself. I am worth that.

Thanks fellow gut busters for letting me process! Much love
