Overeaters Anonymous
Dear TMB,
I went to my first Overeaters Anonymous meeting this morning. It was very interesting and I think I will probably go back. I plan to try a different meeting next time to see if this is for me. I could definitely relate to what some people shared this morning. It's comforting to know that other people use food and obsess about food the same as I have and/or do.
I'm scared.....hope this helps me.
Let me know if any of you are members of OA. I want to know how you feel about the program and if you feel that it's helped.
Thanks a bunch,
Lisa D. Mtz.

hey lisa,
I went to OA the 2 years prior to my surgery and abotu the 1 six months after. I stopped when i moved to Hou. I firmly believe in the group i attended and wish everyone comtemplating surgery could/would attend. I never knew there was such a thing as being a compulsive overeater (me) and other people did it too. Didnt realize there was actually an addiction to sugar, carbs food in general. didnt realize i was an addict the same as if it were alcohol or drugs!. didnt realize i had an addictive personality/behaviors until i went.
I found OA at the recommendation of my counselor at the time, BTW
feel free to PM me if you need to chat about this further. Be happy to!
