wow, that was such an intersting experiance, i feel a bit overwhellem with all the things that they do and the stuff i will be doing but i sure feel ready to go. i did eat after words adn feel out of control though.. but it didnt turn into a binge.
i plan on calling a lady i met there tomarrow and hopefully we can get started!
i have been to many mnay AA meetings before so alot of the readings and prayers were simuliar, so that was a bit comferting and less overwhelming in that sence.
i am just worried about the weighting and measuring and the call people everyday. i am worried about how others will percieve me when im with friends and were having a meal, what if i cant eat it casue its not in my plan, or not eatting any sweets again and a whole bunch of other concerns. but i guess i have to reminde myself that i have A) only just began and dont even know a quarter of what i will learn yet and B) Just for today! those things arnt right now so w/e!
i almost feel a sence of clarity after the meeting that im not so much twirling around in my head. i just hope i wont let my insicurites and fear get in the wayof me doing what i need to do. but i will just pray about it

Amy, well done for going to your OA meeting. I was thinking about your problem with ordering a meal when you're with your friends. Could you just invite your friends home for a meal and then you can cook something that would fit with your food plan? I have done that before and then had fresh fruit salad for dessert. My friends have loved it and not known they were eating "diet food". :) When I am going to someone else's home to eat I usually ask if I can bring the dessert as this is a great chance to do a big fruit plate and then I know that I can eat some of the dessert and wont have non-abstinent desserts tempting me on the table.
