The OA Promise

I PUT MY HAND IN YOURS ... and together we  can do what we could never do alone!  

No longer is there a sense of hopelessness, 
 No longer must we each depend upon our own unsteady will-power. 

We are all together now, reaching out our hands for power and strength greater than ours, 

and as we join hands, we find love and understanding beyond our wildest dreams.
 

Changing Food Behaviors

Members share changes they have made in how, when, and where they eat.

I no longer eat standing up.

I stopped eating in the car. 

I say a small prayer before I eat and say thank you after I am done.

I have designated times to eat. 

I make an effort to eat at the table with a pretty placemat and napkin. 

I don't take tastes of what I am cooking. 

I don't eat lunch before noon. 

I put all fast food on my red light list. 

I limit how often I dine out. 

I weigh and measure everything. 

I limit myself to one plate at buffets, period. 

I don't partake in eating in the office. 

I prepare my food on Sunday for the week. 

I text my food to my sponsor in the morning. 

I write down my food every day. 

I tell my sponsor if I change my food. 

I learned to chew more slowly and eat mindfully.

My meals have a beginning, a middle, and an end.
