Have you tried diet clubs, shots, pills, weight doctors, etc., only to achieve short-lived
success followed by further failures-gaining and regaining weight each time? Have
you known the despair of feeling fat? Are you thin now, but know you are on your way
up? Is your eating out of control?
Many people want long-term freedom from their obsession with food and weight and
often use extreme and unhealthy measures to achieve this including purging and
starving. While some are able to achieve this freedom on their own, the majority
struggle most of their lives with the problem.
Overeaters Anonymous (OA) is a program based upon the 12 steps of Alcoholics
Anonymous. Today, it is an organization that has meetings on every continent and is
growing. It treats the food and weight problem not as a lack of willpower or a moral
defect, but as a disease that can be arrested.
This 12-step program offers a recovery for the physical, emotional and spiritual
aspects of compulsive eating. OA is not a professional diet club. This organization
does not endorse specific food plans or diets.
OA offers a message of hope and recovery from this serious problem. No matter what
size you are when you come to OA, if you want to be free of the obsession with food,
the OA program can work for you. If you want to learn how to live a life free of
compulsive eating, OA can help.
If there is an OA group near you, its members will be happy to welcome you and give
you further information and help, along with additional literature.
