a glorious day of NMW

Okay, so now it's day 5 into year 7 of my w&m abstinence. After a 12 year food relapse, I'm more committed to seek and do HIS will then b4 the relapse. In one of the food fellowships, we talk about NMW's, (No matter what's), that means that there are no circumstances where breaking my food commitment is unavoidable. NONE.

Because I'm food sober, my mind is clear enough to make informed decisions today.
I am not food's hostage.
Food did not make my decisions today.

And what a lovely day I had.
Starting with rolling out of bed onto my knees, asking God for His will, as I have each day for 6 years and 5 days now.

Saying goodbye with a tearful hug to a friend who left to go home, 1200 miles away.
Wow...today I was present and knew God was with us. Four of us. I'm never alone.
Well, getting up at 2 am has caught up with me....so I think a nap is in order...Thank you God that today I can nap instead of "passing out" as a response to COE! (compulsive overeating).

OMG! I'm so glad I'm not a food addict. I don't know, I think I could not handle that.

All I'm addicted to--food-wise--is HERSHEYS, as most everyone on our blog lists knows. I buy 24 8-oz bars (a box) at a time, the next day or so, I buy another box--as a backup.

If they are out of HERSHEYS, I am "out of luck". PERIOD!

Then I have to buy MARS BARS, lots of them--before someone ELSE comes by and buys them ALL...

Thank God, all I need is AA -BIG GRIN

PS. Formerly 260 lb, lost 58 lb in 7 weeks (exactly 49 days). That was four years ago. Now I'm 210--see, sneaking back up there.
