Generally, OA is not my personal cup of tea. I appreciate that it’s helpful to others and for that I acknowledge its value; it simply isn’t for me. However, I strongly agree with some of the beliefs and approaches by the organization, even if I don’t necessarily apply them in the exact same way as they do. [...]

Change. One of the best words of advice I have ever received was that in order to be successful in life — and to be happy, you have to be willing to change, and to change constantly. That’s something that didn’t come naturally to me. I’ve had to work on not only accepting change, but also [...]
Taking another break…..or maybe, moving on

It’s interesting to watch things run their course. I’m grateful for this blog and for the ability to get some things down in writing for myself to examine. I almost feel as though these were among the “remnants” of my ED, hanging around with no place to go, no one really to talk to about [...]
Compulsive Overeating…. but is it really a “disease”?

Quick update if only to crystalize this Ah-HAH that’s in my brain.
Yeah, you can probably file this one under the “duh” category. But to “know” something…..and to somehow have it “click” into place are often two entirely different brain processes. I believe I’ve finally just experienced the latter with this.
I’ve been in conversation with people [...]
