I was nudged by my silence to say something. Something.
Okay, that’s an awful joke. I’ve been super busy in good ways and just not motivated to write much. I am fine. My program is strong. The play is a huge amount of fun and the run is over this weekend so I will have more time. Until then, I thought this might explain some of what I see in the rooms of Overeaters Anonymous, not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Now you know.

I am lesbian, and have a gay male sponsee…and we discuss this “discovery” often.
Gay women teach “love yourself, no matter what you look like” so I use to walk around like I was proud of my extra 100+lbs, but inside I was miserable and could not find support in my peers to work on my food addiction.
My gay male sponsee said it’s exactly the opposite in his world. That if you have an extra pound, or even APPEAR to have an extra pound on you, you are stigmatized and shunned. Because he is addicted to food, he has constant outer AND INNER voices filling his head. And it sure is hard (not impossible, but hard) to recover when you can’t hear your Higher Power because of all the other voices.
Yes, I agree with this quote 100%
Congrats on the play, and break a leg!!!
Thanks Ammy. We have a brush-up rehearsal this evening and three performances this weekend before the blow-out party Sunday evening, at which, I will have my own food and a large supply of fresh fruit for everyone else. The rest of the food is fish food. Fine for fish, but not mine.
Very interesting observation. I’ve only been to one meeting though.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. Your recovery is an inspiration. I can’t wait to go to my 2nd meeting tomorrow night!
