Step 3
On action alone be thy interest, never on its fruits
Bhagavad Gita
Why am I still obsessed with weight? I'm abstaining, I'm trying to work the steps; but I can't give up the scale. I'm terrified to stop the constant monitoring of my weight. What if I gain? How will I know it if I don't weight?
The problem is, I'm trying to work this program without giving up control. but is that possible? The first three steps make it clear that those who wrote them, and millions who followed, proved they could only recover by letting a Power outside themselves regulate their unmanageable lives.
If I say I have faith in a Higher Power, I can take the next step and turn my weight over to that Power. I can concentrate on taking the action--abstaining and working the steps--and leave the results to God.
For Today: If I stop "supervising" my weight loss, it will be taken care of-- in God's time. I pray for the willingness to do that.
