Attend 3 meetings a week, one of which should be an AWOL meeting. To be fully committed, you're expected to: Over the course of the next two weeks, I immersed myself in FA and started implementing their many requirements. During the 10-minute break, I spoke with a few women who briefed me in the program and shared how it had changed them. The individuals would eat well and go on some diet for a few days/weeks/months, only to find themselves ending an entire bag of chips or whole pan of cookies in one setting. People who had been abstinent (from flour and sugar) for 90 days or more were invited to share their own reactions to the readings. We read testimonies from food addicts around the world who shared their struggles. After dinner, off I went.ĭespite being a newcomer amidst a very small group of strangers, the FA meeting felt like home. There was a meeting listed that evening at a church just a few minutes away from my house. It was on a Thursday afternoon when I browsed through the website. Eventually, I googled my way to FA (Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous). I read science based articles as well as articles from less reputable sources. I was obsessively researching diets, supplements, food plans, etc. I was running 5 miles and just felt plain grossly gigantic. Last month I was at my heaviest weight I've ever been (even more than the day I delivered the trio!) and I felt so defeated. My weight has fluctuated 92 lbs over the last decade. Like most people, with each diet, I loose weight, only to gain back even more weight. I couldn't even make it the whole 30 days. Whole 30: This was the most restrictive and least successful diet change I've ever attempted. Wheat Belly: After giving up grains and sugars for four months last year, I felt great, but eventually returned to unhealthy dessert binges. Of course I was successful, but I also became obsessed with counting calories. SparkPeople: I manually typed in every calorie/fat/carb/protein I ever put in my mouth for many months. I went to a scheduled weigh in one day, only to find a note on the door saying they went bankrupt! They never refunded my money! Weight Loss: I lost hundreds of dollars, but no weight, because they required 90 day plans be paid upfront. The food was so high in sodium and wasn't satisfying. Nutrisystem: This was a Today's Special Value on QVC one day. The last meeting I ever went to was Monday, November 5, 2007-at the same exact time my mother died.

I would eat a can of green beans, bag of fat free popcorn, and a brownie for dinner. Weight Watchers: I had success with the program multiple times, but I would manipulate the points.The idea that I've lost control over eating, particularly binge eating, is something I've started to come to terms with recently. When out running errands, there's unlimited access to drive-thrus and random food stashed in the van. In general, the only food available for a teacher is the food you bring to work.
As a teacher, there are only certain opportunities throughout the day to eat. Since becoming a stay at home mom, I have had more trouble than ever maintaining any kind of healthy weight.
