I am powerless but I am not helpless
I am powerless over my food. I am powerless over my compulsion and my desire for food to numb my feelings. I am powerless over my dishonesty with my food, especially my dishonesty to myself about how much I have eaten.
I am powerless over my weight and my body image. I am powerless over my sexuality. I am powerless over my lack of self-care, my self-abuse at what I look like.
I am completely powerless but I am not completely helpless. In the food I can not love myself, I can not the sparkle in my eyes and the joy in my smile that makes me beautiful. When I am strong I know sugar has no answers for me. When I work my program I can take the action I need to be healthy and happy.
I can ask for help with my food, my compulsion and my weight. Writing a food plan and sharing it with someone will help me see clearly what I am eating and why. I can dress as well as I can, take care with my appearance and generally love myself as I try to love others.
I can not take the first compulsive bite. I can have a loving contact with a higher power and I can take responsibility for my behaviour.
