I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back. (Phillipians 3:12-14 The Message)

Step One
We admitted we were powerless over our dependencies-- that our lives had become unmanageable.
This is me. I am on step one. I have admitted my powerlessness. In the Serenity Bible it says "A universal warning sign of all addictions is the frightening recognition that I have begun to 'do what I will not to do.'" (See Romans 7:18-20.) I have recognized that in how I behave with food.
I am powerless over food. My life has become unmanageable. I cannot control myself. I need help.
How big is this for me? Huge.
Especially because I am posting this on my blog for the world to read.
I am surely on to step 2 next.

I usually go from one exteme to the other. Self-imposed starvation to pure indulgence. I have alot of will power until it comes to chocolate -
That's where I would confess!
Of course holiday time makes everyone stop dieting... winter is made for over-eating!
Good luck!
