hiddenmuseGood news - while I do have a pinched nerve in my arm (booo), it's not carpal tunnel, like I'd thought (yay). Apparently my going out & swimming was good at getting the muscle spasm to relax, but won't do much for my clavicle being out of line. (Yes, I got my ass back to the chiropractor after several months)
Work offered up the usual parade of Grumpuses (okay, "Grumpus" isn't really a word, but it works) and producers wanting everything yesterday. You know, same old, same old.
I'm thinking of joining OA, if I can find an OA group in St. Louis. Actually, that's something I'd thought of doing years ago - either when I was in high school or college. Sure, I *can* eat healthy, that's not much of a problem. My problem is sometimes not knowing when to stop. I remember having times in the past where I'd binge, then get on the phone with a friend and cry my eyes out over the fact that I had overeaten, that I was really fucked up, that I had a problem. {If you must know, I did try the "purge" aspect of "binge-purge", but failed miserably. And I liked food too much to become anorexic.}
I'll see what I come up with. There's probably something around here. :)

Date: 2002-08-20 12:23 am (UTC)Personally, all those 12 steppin programs have WAY the hell too much religion in them for me.
You are not the only one that binges. Did I ever tell you the story about my aunt that would dig peanut butter out of the jar with her fingers and slap a handfull of chocolate chips on it? She would eat an entire jar of peanut butter in about 15 minutes. Then have the breakdown like you do.
I do it too. I ate an entire box of cookies in one sitting just this past Sunday.
Every single second, you have a choice. You can start fresh every second. If you binge, figure out what triggered it, what you can do to prevent it in the future, and then THROW THE EXPERIENCE OUT. And move on.
I know it sounds easier than it really is. But it's not as difficult as you imagine it to be either
