Embracing pink in Addictive Eaters Anonymous

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.

Response to regifting presents

Gordon from Halswell

My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
