I cannot believe it has been a week today. I feel wonderful. I am going to make my goal to not think about food, my weight, my body or exercise because I have become obsessive with those things. I have learned a little more about myself and dealt with some of my stresses this week. It has been a struggle but I have faith that I am on the road to recovery. I still haven't told my mother about my addiction, but my dad knows. My mom can be overbearing about situations and I think that would only add more stress on me; therefore enhancing my situation. I am proud of myself for even having the balls to admit I have an issue and to not apologize for taking time out to take care of myself. Greg has been unbelievably supportive. We have had many issues during the last 9 months of our relationship, but I think he understands my need for less stress and more support. By the way, I did weigh myself and I lost a little weight. I'm excited to be dealing with my issues head on instead of continuing to run from them. I really need to find an oa meeting. That was the most frustrating issue I had to deal with during the past week because I received the wrong information about an oa meeting near me. You know what I just figured out a goal for my weight..... I will weigh myself because I want to and not because I have to. I also will not apologize for my progress; if I fall I fall, but I will get back up. I don't owe an explanation for who I am; my main focus is to get better so I can be a better mom and a better companion.......
