I took a really big step tonight

[Raelynn]

I took a huge step tonight towards the path that ultimately is going to result in achieving my ideal weight - I went to an Overeaters Anonymous meeting. I felt so at home, and listening to the people talk -- it was like the words were coming out of my own mouth. I read online that OA can also help bulimics, so that is why I went. I used to be a COE, but then became bulimic well over a year ago.

I am tired to lying to myself and to others. I want to enjoy a meal. I want to think of food only as a fuel source for my body and I want to feel free from this disease. The people there made me feel so good, I wanted to cry. I think I found my home. :)

Raelynn,

What a wonderful thing to do for yourself... I'm glad you made that step! How are you doing now?

Based on my own past, I am thinking of going to OA too if I binge again. I just have to successfully get off this roller coaster way of living... and accept that food is not any miracle cure for depression.

Best to you... :)

That's awesome, Raelynn! :cp:

We have bulimics, anorexics, COE, and food addicts in our meetings. All are welcome! :)

Good luck and keep checking in...
