New Question Step 1, # 9

Have I made an honest appraisal of my experience and am I convinced that I can't handle life through self-will alone? Explain. (pg. 6, Twelve Steps & Twelve Traditions)

My dishonesty consists of a "getting away with it" mentality.
"Denial of the truth leads to destruction. Only an honest admission to ourselves of the reality of our condition can save us from our destructive eating." (pg. 6)

I'm on a merry-go-round of eating healthy, overeating, undereating to compensate, and on and on I go.

Honest appraisal: I need to eat healthy every day...PERIOD.
I need to be honest with myself and others....WITHOUT SHAME.

Thanks for reading.

Even though I am lacking in this department I know for certain that I can't handle life through self-will alone. I know that my HP in there for me even though right now I'd say we are on ummm how to put this estranged terms right now. This is the only reply I can give to your question at this point. :(

I must learn to ask for help. I'm doing better. I'd much rather focus on you and others. It's easier for me to make calls and ask for HELP.
