I'm Ellet, and I'm a food addict. I just came out of my first Overeaters Anonymous group meeting. I've known for a few years now that my love of food has become, or simply always has been, an obsession, and very unhealthy. A couple years ago I came to the conclusion that my relationship with food has not been nourishing to either my soul or body, and has been an addiction for a long time. Today, I took the first step toward addressing that. I attended my first OA meeting, and though I don't know if it will work, I'm giving it a fair shake. I've been grasping at straws, and sometimes not even that, for a while now, and I realized that even something is better than nothing. I sat through a meeting, cried a little (inside and out), and introduced myself. I've committed to attending another meeting on Saturday. It's not much, but it's a start. Woot for the little things.
