Well I am 24, and my whole life I have been in love with food..I used to hide food in my room when I was a kid, I was never over weight until recently,I went from 148 to 168 in 3 months. I broke my leg when I joined the Army and was really depressed while I was atuck on Fort Jackson, I would do great all day and then someone or something would just bug me and I would eat enough crap to equal four days worth, we were only allowed to eat three meals a day no snacks in between so I would just eat as much as a could at that time. the last couple of years I have wanted to lose a littke weight, well more then that I wanted to not feel so hungry all the time, Its like no matter what I do I am hungry even if I feel like I am going to puke I am hungry. my husband is always questioning me about what I am eating, and he asks do you really need that, but then we travel and he buys me food, I just want to be able to say no I do not need this food. I have healthy options in my house, but I cant say no to flur sugar, basically anything with a gagillion carbs. Im not sure if I have found the right place, there are no meetings where I live, so I am goign to try an online meeting at noon....sorry to vent, I just ont know what to do anymore...Thank you

Hi there.
Have you visited www.oa.org?

Only you can decide if you are a compulsive overeater. I recommend that you get and read the 12 Steps and Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous. It will help you figure out why you compulsively eat and how to stop.

You aren't alone. Glad you're here.

Welcome!

Marny, you always have such great replies! How do you do that?

Only you can decide, The list of questions under "Is OA for tyou?" at OA.org is a great place to start, it made it very clear for me.

The meetings took longer for me to embrace, but like they say, I just kept coming back.
