    AA support

    Some of the things people in OA make amends for are: -eating other people's food (at work, home, kid's halloween candy) -numbing self out with food and being emotionally unavailable for family and friends, -some shoplift food, -focusing so much on food for you that you short your family their favorites when you grocery shop, -not enjoying friend's company because you are trying to figure out when dinner will be served, -choosing activities based on the food served, -not going to activities because of shame of size (like kid's school events) You don't need to cross this bridge until you WORK the steps which means you go over each one with someone who is ahead of you in recovery and who has also worked the steps. Hope this gives you more ideas. Connie

    New Guy Here....

    I think it's possible if you work the band rules. I have lost 67 lbs in four months and only now actually have restriction. But I followed the rules anyway and ate protein first and limited the rest. I actually have 256 lbs to lose and from what I've read on this board and on obesityhelp I think it's totally possible.
