Top weight 305, now 170. College was the kick off for unrestrained compulsive overeating. Getting a job I liked helped my self esteem but not my food I did my work with my sponsor and the steps like a check list and never waivered. Consistancy trumps perfection.

The weight allowed to be a charcter actor which allowed me to justify the weight. Lost 100 lbs by running, then stopped running.... 2 years into recovery I was terrified of relapse. a 2 lb weight gain led me into my current recovery. Doing the steps in AA truly kicked in my spiritual awakening.

Very active youth but food took oever about age 11. by 16 my weight made me uncomfortable so I solved that feeling with drugs and alcohol and became fat and high. 100 lb swings became common. I know have my passion back.. for OA. I always find a way to eat appropriately with the help of God and my sponsor.

Added almost 100 lbs from HS Graduation through first semester of college. Bypass surgery helped me switch from binging to grazing continuously. Not a good switch. Once I started really working the program with a sponsor I discovered eating healthy foods in moderate quantities, with a little excercize produced weight loss. Who knew?

Grew up on Pot farm. My mother gained weight with organic food. At times I lost weight but never dealt with underlying isses. I had two food plans, A local plan when I was home and a travel plan. Not so good. Today I love the program, I love you guys, I love my family, I love my higher power and at long last I love myself.

First diet worked for a year - Then a month, Then a week, then maybe days. I thought alot to avoid my feelings. Problem was this is a program of action, not a program of feelings. Years of half measures failed me but I kept coming back and once I caught the disease I ended up with a sponsor, abstinance, and recovey.
