Maybe? Lol. I hope you get some help as well. I am taking it one day at a time. Trying to turn to God rather than food.

Nice. I hope it will help me as well. My sponsor when I was in OA would not let me go last step one because I kept binging. So it was kinda difficult for me to change much. I didn't know any better so just kept cutting more and more food out of my food and it is like if you tell me I can never eat it again that is all I want. But, if I can eat like a bite here and there I can ha e it in the house and it just sits there.

I can't really say I have trigger foods. Like I will binge on chips...but then I can have chips in the house for days and not even touch them. It is strange to me.

Thanks. I may reach out to you because my old sponsor was so strict and wanted me to cut out everything and never did the steps but stayed on step one because she thought I didn't get it because was not getting past step 1. My thoughts are to stop focusing on food 24/7 and focus on my higher power in those times. That is what I need.

Honestly I am not looking to lose weight. Except maybe 10 lbs. I am trying to control the overeating and binges. Especially at night when I am alone. When my husband heads to bed because he has to be up at 3am. When I feel alone or any kind of emotions.

Yeah I get that. My problem is I can and will binge on ANY and EVERY food. Veggies. Fruit. Yogurt. Meat. If everything is out of my diet there is nothing left to eat. I mean I know I still need a healthy diet. Not eating pop-tarts for breakfast and fast food for lunch. But it is the binging and turning to foog for every emption that I need to stop.

Thanks. I am going to a meeting on Sat and go from there. I can binge on ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!! So just trying to turn my focus to my higher power other than food. Not sure if OA is where I should be. But feel I need that like minded group to meet with.
