OA internet meetings any recommendations?

[Susanna]

I had to chuckle visiting a dietician recently( I am a longstanding COE) who earnestly told me the way I talk about food I sounded just like her anorexics,only she'd have to close her eyes as I weigh 190 lbs. There are very few OA meetings in CT, so I am looking for some support on the internet and I have gotten a lot of encouragement from this site. Could anyone tell me if they have had a good experience on the OA internet meetings. Many Thanks SUsanna

Hi Susanna! :wave:

I haven't had any experience with an online meeting, but I wanted to welcome you. It's very quiet in here at times. I suspect that a lot of us with eating disorders tend to retreat into our own worlds. Unfortunate, because we really do need the support of other people. :(

Is anyone out there to answer Susanna's question? :?:

Susanna, check out this thread... I think there's a couple of links there, and the ladies may be able to give you some input. :hat: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55755

Dear Forum Friends Thank you for your reply. I am so excited to have found this site. I so look forward to reading the post which are encouraging to me even if some of you seem to exercise a lot more than I ever could imagine doing. So much of my COE journey lately is tring to find something else to do with myself/ for myself than eat or obsess about food. I am so blessed with a good family , a good job and most importantly knowing that God loves me where I am . Since my girls became teenagers my husband Steve and I have developed a great sense of humor( esp about ourselves) which I haven't always had in the past. Many Thanks Susanna

Hi Susanna :) I forget to come to this sub forum so I'm just seeing this post. I go to the OA meetings online at www.therecoverygroup.org and I have never had a bad experience with it. I'm very grateful for it because with a 2 yo there's no way I could make so many f2f meetings.
