HI THERE! I'M CARBIE -
(CARBIE GIRL IN A CARBIE WORLD)
I am that girl that you loved to hate in school that had all the attention and populartity. You know the one! Cheerleader. Prom Queen. I married my high school sweetheart, had a couple kids and work in an office 9 to 5. I make excuses for the weight that I had gained. I am unhealthy and miserable. I AM CARB ADDICTED. This is no different than any other substance abuse.
I have tried all of the fad diets, diet pills and weightloss workouts without any real results. Sometimes I feel (like many of you) that I am just meant to be fat. Not true at all. Obesity does not have to rule your life.
I am here to tell you that obesity has become a multi billion dollar scam. We all want a simple solution with the least amount of resistance. I would pay $1000s to turn back the hands of time before I was fat. I am going to bet that if you are reading this, you know exactly what I mean.
I have a problem and I need help.
12 steps
- Admit powerlessness: I admit that I am powerless over
alcoholcarbohydrates, that my life has become unmanageable. - Find hope: I believe that a power greater than myself can restore my sanity.
- Surrender: I made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God as I understand Him to be.
- Take inventory: Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself.
- Share inventory: Admit to God, to myself, and to another human being the exact nature of my wrongs.
- Become ready: Be entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
- Ask God: Humbly ask Him to remove my shortcomings.
- List amends: Make a list of all those I have harmed and make amends to them all.
- Make amends: Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
- Continue inventory: Take a personal inventory, and when I was wrong, promptly admitted it.
- Pray and meditate: Through prayer and meditation to improve my conscious and connect with God. I will do this to understand Him, praying only for His knowledge will give me the power to carry that out.
- Help others: Having a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, to carry this message to
alcoholicscarboholics and to practice these principles.
Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive.
