Sunday was one of those rare(for me) and amazing days. I felt little or no hunger all day, well, after breakfast. I ate my normal breakfast at about 6:30a, sat at the local PA market writing. Talked to my step sponsor for an hour while walking around a strip mall and golf course (saw a [...]

Sunday mornings I speak with my step sponsor. We had a nice talk today. More work to do. Progress to be made. Nothing must be done in an instant but progress is to be and is being made. I’m still in PA and again this morning I sat (and am sitting again) in Wegman’s using [...]

I absolutely freakin’ love going to Overeaters Anonymous meetings when I travel. Here in PA, I know the local meetings already so I have an OA crew already in place.

I’ve been sharing at meetings and speaking with other OA’s about “good” food and “bad” food. I’ve taken the view there is no bad food. There is just my food and not my food. Simple. No negativity. No value judgment. Negativity was a huge part of my disease so I avoid it where I can [...]

When it comes to learning a new language, I struggle. I struggle so much that I always give up. A friend of mine who teaches Spanish in high school assures me that some people are just not designed to learn languages. Boy, do I believe that.  Still, I am willing to try again. This time, [...]
