O.A.

Good to know! Thank you.

I go to OA meetings twice a week. I work the steps. I text. It is very spiritual for me. I am a food addict. Always will be. When others truly understand my crazy food thinking I feel less alone in this craziness. I take what resonates with me and leave the rest. My guts were rearranged. It's all about the head now.

Hi! I'm looking for some OA/OH friends! send me a PM if you want to chat sometime. 

IMO: Whatever we need to do to get our heads in the right place is the right thing to do. OA, OH, private therapist, surgery center support groups, BFFs,... Whatever works!

High Five to That ^^^ 

I chose the therapy route but good for you for recognizing that there is A LOT more to weight loss than the physical... in fact IMHO the neck up stuff is the MOST IMPORTANT... 9 times out of 10 people don't need those pouch test/fad diets they need therapy.

Another resource besides OA is Smart Recovery http://www.smartrecovery.org/ some pals that have issues with the higher power tone of OA have found that program more for them. 

Best to you!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I don't mind the the God component. I am a spiritual person. He helps me everyday with this struggle, but any weight loss programs that help change my thinking when it comes to food I am certainly down to try.

Am I the only one that saw OA and thought of a totally different OA? I need to watch less Netflix! 

I had no idea there was a show on Netflix called OA!

I started going last year right about this time and still go to at least two meetings a month. I ignore the occasional drama queens and find it helps keep me on track. It did take a while to find the right group.
