Is Anyone Still Here?

I do struggle with emotional eating and guilt associated with it. I am not a 12 stepper, but do try  to understand why and turn to a healthier option at times.  I saw no more posts for over a year so figured all were gone.

I had a 12 step counselor who disciplined me once when I used the word "try". She asked me if I would attend 3 meetings per week and I told her I would try to do 3 per week. She said, "nope!, I will not accept that answer because when you use the word "try", you leave yourself open for failure!" I realized she was right so I told her I would definitely make 3 meetings per week.

When I read your post it made me think of that. I wasn't trying to judge....hugs!
