"Bingeing landed me in the hospital. Only in FA could I truly recover."
When I came into FA I was utterly desperate. Just a few months prior to that date, I had ended up in the hospital for three days after a major binge. My diagnosis was a swollen colon.
Someone who doesn’t understand the insanity of addiction would have probably said to me, “If you eat so much that you end up in the hospital, just stop eating so much.” Why was it so hard? Why couldn’t I just stop?
I couldn't just stop on my own. I needed a complete recovery from the disease of food addiction. I have been in FA for ovre a decade, and I’m in awe for the life I have today because of FA.
"Recovery freed me from thinking about food every minute."
I never realized how crazy flour and sugar made me. I was only aware of how fat it made me. It took years for me to realize how my food addiction affected my life. Every minute was thinking about food and getting it. I always had food in my pockets, my pocketbook, and my car. I was eating off other people’s plates, off the floor, and out of the garbage.
When I found FA, I weighed 200 pounds. I have lost 80 pounds and regained my sanity. Recovery helps me make better choices.
"FA recovery meant losing weight and getting mentally healthy."
I knew there was something wrong with me, but I couldn't do anything about it.
When I was pregnant the first time with my son, the doctor told me not to drink soda and to keep my feet up. I had toxemia, but it didn’t stop me from eating. My disease was out of control.
Counselors, hypnotists, and diet pills couldn't help me. It wasn't until I came into FA that I found recovery. I lost all my weight, and I started to get mentally healthy, a little at a time.
