Step One - Question 1a

Step One - We admitted that we were powerless over food - that our lives had become unmanageable.

1. a. What other solutions have I tried, and what were the results? Am I still looking for a solution outside of OA?

I have tried Weight Watchers (twice), many self-diets, and starvation (lease effective). Now that I have been diagnosed with onset diabetes I am trying to make my eating plan incorporate better control of sugars and carbs, especially simple carbs like white flour and pasta.

I haven't tried many things in the past because I didn't have the motivation to try and stop my compulsive overeating - I always viewed it as just being overweight. I know that sounds crazy that I didn't associate my weight with my compulsive eating - I just thought I eat too much all the time but not that is was a compulsive behavior. I don't know if that makes any sense. I think I will ask Kristy about that.

That;s it for today.
