Had so much fun with her and the 2 sons and GF who could be there. DH was too sick to join us for the celebration dinner. I am so proud of her!!

I was doing really well and then on Thursday our dog ran away. Needless to say, I've been stuffing my face ever since. I called into an OA meeting last night and just sat and listened to people sharing their stories about their compulsive overeating. I was part of OA 2 years ago but couldn't bring myself to completely believe that I have a problem with food. Well duh, this episode has shown me that I do. I'm very sad about our dog but eating nonstop isn't going to bring her back. DH and I did our groceries last night and I had to stop and catch my breath towards the end. My chest was tight and I got really scared. I need to eat better, exercise better, and learn to release my stress better. Today is a new day and all I can do is try.

Thank you everyone for sharing your successes and your struggles. I love this thread and feel so encouraged by you all. *hugs*

Our OA chapter didn't last long, but long enough so I became aware of the problem.

Good note, I was lighter at the doctor's office today. Just a couple of pounds, but I had a Christmas party first, so that's not bad.
