What's in your toolbox?

The OA program talks about the 9 tools of recovery.  I use some of them, but not all.  While WLS is obviously not one of the OA tools, it is a really big one in my recovery from obesity and food addiction -- probably the most used one.  But you can't build a house with just a hammer?  What are the tools you use to stay on track?

Mine include:

WLS
Prayer
OA Meetings
Barix support group meetings
Posting here on OH
Journaling
Making a daily Plan of Eating
Sponsorship (I have a sponsor, and I sponsor two people in OA and one in AA)
Literature -- both OA and WLS


Blessings, Jill

I like this idea Jill,

Supporting my tool through. . .

Prayer and Meditation
Barix Support group meetings
Planning my meals
Exercise
Logging my exercise and food
Being there for others to offer encouragement
Asking others for input when I am stuck
Seeking additional ways to aid myself and others on this journey
Positive self talk
Weighing myself


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen
