Question:
Wondering about OA(overeaters anonymous)?
I'm thinking of going to a meeting in a few days to start to deal with compulsive eating issues. Does anyone have experience going to OA? Has it been a worth while experience? Has it helped? What do the meetings consist of?
I know, so many questions! If you can answer any of this, it would be greatly appreciated!

you know what ? I was just considering doing the same thing, the one in my town has meetings every Thursday at the local hospital. I called and talked to the moderater, and she told me that it is not just overweight people that attend but also people with other eating disorders, like bulimia, anorexia, etc. and she had been going for the past 12 years. she also said it was like a 12 step program, like AA, and they deal with spirituality, self esteem, etc. which to me is always a plus. she also told me that they dont weigh people, but they have counselor to assist you with a diet plan to fit your needs, and you can team up with another member to be like a partner, and you give each other support.
so do it ! I have been holding off on doing it, but I am going to give it a try
