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!

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

Good luck and keep checking in...

Good for you, Raelynn!!
Sarah, you and I are next.
