So one of my compulsive addictions is weighing myself up to five times a day. Someone on the board said something that sparked me to really think...they said their weight was one thing they felt they could truly control. That really was thought provoking. It made me realize I am really being resistant not surrendering this to my higher power. It made me feel safe weighing myself if the numbers went down I felt good ...if they went up I felt sad and unhappy. I realize I am putting all my happiness on that scale(ugh) I feel my hp is getting me ready. I hope I am strong enough. I'm going to try to wean myself off the constant weighing. I am going to do it slowly every other day at first, then every three, every four, until I'm at once a week. That doesn't mean I will over eat or stop exercising, but I need to stop letting it rule my life. Use some affirmations "I am enough" Thankyou for allowing me to share

I am the same with different compulsions, ive never been without one, ever. I think its good to first of all see them and look into the motives and then hand them over to your higher power. I hope it goes well, will you keep us updated?
thank you all for your support and esh ;) so far so good ;) I did not weigh myself this morning or track my exercise ;) hoping I can go till Sunday without weighing myself ..I'm feeling strong with God and Alanon.
