A rough day of abstinence...Day 2

Jan 30, 2017

Well today was Day 2 of my abstinence and dedication to the new me and OA. It was rough to be honest. I had a moment where I almost got off track, but I prayed and took a nap instead and it worked! This reconstruction of my mind is something that is going to take God for me to accomplish. I have resigned myself to that. I would have thought that day 1 would be the most difficult, but surprisingly it wasn't. Whose to say that tomorrow won't be even worse, but I am learning the tools I need to put into practice to be successful. Life is journey, and Rome wasn't built in a day, but I know that implementing these little changes will ultimately make the difference in my lifelong health. I don't want to be a diabetic, or have hypertension. I want to be able to wear a bikini at least once in my life. I deserve to be happy and healthy. I deserve to be able to live life to the fullest and truly appreciate my life while I'm still young enough to enjoy it. This is a huge undertaking, but I am up for the challenege. I realize not all days will be easy, but God is bigger than all my troubles, and certainly anything I want to shove into my mouth. I can do this. I am ready for a new me.

Step 1: We admitted that we are powerless over food- that our lives had come unmanagable.

Step 2:Came to believe that a Power (God) greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Step3: Made a decision to turn our will and lives over tothe care of God as we understand Him

Another day bites the dust....Here's to a new me!
