Look What I've Accomplished!

Hi! My name is Sassle and I'm a compulsive overeater.

I just joined OA (Overeaters Anonymous) today.  Since I am a veteran of 12 step fellowships (Hello AA) I decided after seeing myself destroy my health with sugar, fried foods and flour.

I will try to post my experience with the program, I have a temporary sponsor who already gave me homework.  I am to list my red light foods, green light foods and orange light foods.  For example a red light food for me would be donuts, cake, cookies, chips, french fries, cheese burgers... you get the point, anything that I can and will binge on.  My green light foods would be something like spinach (no other come to mind all of a sudden).  Orange light would be whole grain bread which I'm thinking probably belongs in the red light group because whenever I'm on a "diet" suddenly I can go bread crazy.

I have spent the weekend researching OA and have been very pleased with what I have found, there is a world of support out there and quite frankly I'm tired of doing this alone and failing.

Part of my recovery is writing so I think I'll be doing some of that here on the blog, hopefully some of my experiences can help someone else as well.

Thanks for stopping by!
