Stories of recovery from compulsive exercise
I wasn’t an overweight child, but from as young as 5 years I can recall comparing myself unfavourably with two painfully thin twins in my dance class and thinking that was what I was supposed to look like.

I wasn’t an overweight child, but from as young as 5 years I can recall comparing myself unfavourably with two painfully thin twins in my dance class and thinking that was what I was supposed to look like.
I’m not sure how I got the idea that I should be very thin. My mum was often on a diet and always wanted to be thinner, so maybe that shaped my thinking that thin was good. I remember at high school being mortified that every year I put on more weight.

Before I came into the fellowship of Addictive Eaters Anonymous, I lived full of fear, resentment, self-pity, shame, and self-obsession. My eating was completely out of control and I could no longer stop eating even though I really wanted to and went to great lengths to try and stop. My world became a small and lonely existence where the only thing I looked forward to was hiding out with my food. There was no room for adventure in my life.

Living life in colour: A new way of living in Addictive Eaters Anonymous
At the height of my addictive eating, at my grossest weight, I could not stand the colour pink. I felt repulsed wearing pink because it highlighted and illuminated my heavy set body.
Today I woke early in the morning, dressed in the dark and came downstairs to call my sponsor. After receiving an engaged signal, I went to the bathroom and saw that my slippers and bed socks were pink. My dressing gown is one hairy, fluffy, pink hooded coat. My glove body scrubs are pink and my bath towel is pink.
