Working environments

I started a new job this week, and I’m loving it! It’s very different to anything I’ve ever done before though, and I have a few questions – I’m sure other Greysheeters have gone before me. It’s sales in a retail environment for a VERY high-end product. This means a certain way of presenting myself, in…

Physically weak

I feel really weak today, physically. Even lifting up my arms is effort. To be honest, this isn't just today – I've been feeling quite weak for the past few days, if not a week or two. Just chose to ignore it, but it keeps getting worse. I wonder why… I'm already making my meals…

Not everything’s about the food!

So I posted yesterday about how I’ve been feeling physically weak. After posting, I spoke with my sponsor, who suggested that I go see a doctor. !!! Now that’s an insightful idea! I honestly, sincerely didn’t even think of that possibility. To think that not everything in my body is caused by food, or can…

1 YEAR – my story (long)

FINALLY BEATEN INTO WILLINGNESS My name is [Anonymous], and I am a compulsive overeater.  I am in recovery today by weighing my three daily meals off the Cambridge Greysheet, writing them down, and committing them to my sponsor.  I don’t eat anything I haven’t committed, and I eat what I have committed, no matter what – this…

Got a job!

I'm so excited today – I just got a job offer! This is a job I wouldn't even have considered before I got abstinent. It's a job that actually requires me to *work*! (gasp!)… good rewards for working well. I went for three interviews, the first one a week ago, the second one on VERY…

A full day, a full life

Yesterday was interesting – interesting because it opened my eyes to how different I am now, almost a year into abstinence. A year ago, I would have termed yesterday as a disaster day. Today, I see lots of good things in it. Here’s what happened. First of all, in the morning, I spilled coffee all…

Fasting

I have a question for anyone who’s Christian or Jewish. I know we don’t fast; I have no intention to. I honor the God of my understanding through the way I eat – fasting removes me from my HP, rather than bring me closer. So it’s not a question for me. But I wonder, is…

I don’t have to!

Before I found Greysheet, I would often use exercise in hopes of losing weight. Unfortunately I wasn’t nearly as faithful to my exercise programs as I was to my regular binges, which meant that every so often I would re-start a new exercise program and go really hard. Then I pushed my body to the…
