Success Is So Fun

Here I Am At 3:10 In The Morning - HUMMM - I'd Rather
be Sleeping.

My life is incredibly wonderful! I'm loving it. I have been well and have had no symptoms of fibro. in 3-4 months. I have been going to my mission for 15 months now. I will be through in December. I've been putting out feelers for future missions, hopefully in the eating disorders meetings in the 12 Step program or in family support for the pornography group. Neither of those places would be dealing with drugs or alcohol so maybe the Church will let me serve there.

My CEA-HOW work continues to go well. I've lost *drum roll* 70 lbs. in 7 months. I get to weigh myself again in one week.

I've arranged to have a 1/2 hour program on KSRR (AM 1400) on the 27th of this month at 9:00 to 9:30 a.m. to discuss CEA-HOW and the wild success we all are having. I'm hoping we'll have several newcomers come to our meeting as a result of my "spreading the message" as required by Step 12. I'm a little nervous about it because I'm not as articulate as I used to be but I'm going forward anyway. I am making this a matter of prayer because I believe there are many women and men in this county who would love to be a part of this program if they only knew about it.

Compulsive eating is one character defect that is socially acceptable in our culture. You can still get a Temple recommend and be fat. So it's not considered a moral defect, but it certainly is a health issue We are destroying the temple - our body -, by our eating habits. We don't seem to have a way to lose weight permanently. But in CEA-HOW we are smashing the barriers and having incredible success.

I feel so much better just with 70 lbs. gone. I have had to buy a whole new wardrobe twice now. Thank heaven for D.I. and Savers. They are my favorite places to shop now. I'm only in clothes for about 3 months at a time, now, so I don't want to buy new, expensive clothes that I will only be wearing 3 months or so. I can get a whole wardrobe at D.I. or Savers for about $100.00. I have found several jackets and sweaters for winter. Finding pants that fit is still a little difficult but even that will get better as I lose weight. I also have found several skirts and one nice Sunday dress.

At Costco I found a cute winter coat that is just a little snug for only $50.00. It should fit me well when winter gets here.

Joe said last night that I was becoming very attractive as I lose weight.... Nice to hear :)
Well it's almost four 'o clock so I better hit the sack. I think I'll set my alarm for 6:00 instead of 5:00 this morning.

Wish me luck in getting a couple of hours of sleep before the alarm rings.

See Ya,

Loves to all,

Mither
