While, we can't really put all the blame our environment, it sure does attribute to much of our issues with food and overeating. I've read that creating a stress-free environment/situations helps, but most of the battle starts in our head, I think. Dealing with stress and triggers is a battle I am currently fighting too. Its a daily trial of wits and grits!

Do you ever find yourself thinking about food for no reason? Do you ask yourself, "Why am I craving something right now? I'm not hungry... I don't need anything to eat! I'm actually kind of bloated, but I feel a need to eat!" I just caught myself doing that...I drank some water, and feel a little bit better, but what do you all do in this situation? Do you even notice? Have any tips? Advice?

I found the greatest guy... he's my best friend too...

I have heard food calling to me in the middle of the night... "here I am .... you know you want a biscuit... come and get me.... " I hate that...

I'd like to start an online meeting in forum chat or chat... we could do it on a regular schedule....

If you're interested please im me... I'll need to get an idea of when to hold these meetings... so the majority can attend....

I just wanted to remind people that I'm copying a daily ODAT and posting it to the OA thread at Becky's Corkboard... it's a private forum

Someone sent a karma saying "you must be fat?"

While the majority of people involved in OA are struggling to loose weight... there are also people who are using the same steps and the same Higher Power concept to work on the fact they are too thin....

So.. thank you for sending me that karma so I would remember to address the fact that OA is for anyone who wants to get back in control of what they eat....

Thank you... and I hope you join us...

I'm going to try to open one in CRE... where are you opening yours? Need a place to meet?

The online meetings are really helpful for those who can't get to them all the time....

I was just talking to someone at Hickory Hills....

Does anyone want to open a chapter there? It's right off of Chancellor's Run...
