Guest guest Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 My mother attended OA for years. She lost a lot of weight on it. Food addiction is hard since, unlike other addictions like alcohol, you can not just stop eating completely. You have to eat in order to live. It is about making healthy lifestyle choices. I do not have a food addiction but I do have a choc addiction. I did quit choc. It will be 2 years in Feb. Talk about hard. I do have an eating disorder that I have pretty good control of right now. It was really bad as a teenager. I am on this one list called " weightlossbuddies2 " on yahoogroups. It is a wonderful group of people who work on actively creating healthy lifestyles to get to proper weight. I have gained a good deal of weight around my abdomen in the past year. Last week, I was dx with gastroparesis. This is not uncommon with fibro I have read in my research. It is hard not to starve myself due to my 'inner image' when it comes to weight. I am trying to eat right and exercise. Although I do not exercise much due to pain. I know I would feel better if I exercised but it hurts. <G> When our rebounder gets moved to our new home, I will be using that again. I had started right before we moved. I think I will also join my son on the Wii and do some of his sports stuff. He told me he wanted me to get on the program and play with him. It will serve two benefits - family time and exercise time. Plus, for my play therapy class I am taking, I have to report how I am playing each week. maryruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
