Episode Synopsis

From Early childhood always full plates. Both parents were compulsive eaters.  I learned how to sneak food without being heard or discovered. I was the only kids in the point system program with my mom. I did not get it and hated it. i went to college at about 300 lbs. I learned all about nutrition but it didn't help me. My parents encouraged me to try OA. Much of my life was working but not my food. I did my first meeting on Zoom and cried and still felt at home. In the beginning is was all about the weight and I did not embrace all the work The steps helped me to acknowledge I was perfectly imperfect. The concept of a higher power did not come easily but it has come to me. Even if I don't enjoy me feelings I allow them without turning to the food one day at a time.
