"Normal" Eating

The idea that we will one day be able to eat spontaneously, like normal people, is a delusion. We compulsive overeaters tend to think that once we lose our excess pounds, we can go back to "normal" eating. Not so.

From Food for Thought

Still have a chuckle at the word normal. I still say in my head, "Normal compared to what?" When it is normal compared to me, gosh only knows what you will end up with."

I may have been in recovery for a few 24 hours, but that doesn't mean I am 'normal' or that I am a staid old woman of 72, who acts her age. What does 72 look like?

My day certainly isn't normal, but that is what allows me to come here and post on the site.

My primary purpose is to carry the message of recovery, so that is why I do what I do. Without that, I don't have a life unless I am directed else where. So far that has't happened.

It started with a friend of a friend building me a computer for $100. The young guy could not read or write. It had a 1 gig hard drive and I was able to get on line. I found a Site called Another Empty Bottle. The boyfriend bought me a computer. Then it was followed by me going to March of Dimes for a computer course and I walked away with a certificate for Business Administration on Computers. I ended up with 15 sites of my own and now they are gone.

You never know where life is going to take you.
