I found out there is a group in my area! I don't know whether they have an age limit though. Is it just for over-18's or is it all ages? (I'm 17)

thank you so much for this video! It didn't occur to me to look for an OA group, but I've tried to find a group in my area. I finally found one this week (EDA) but the info online wasn't updated so it doesn't exist:( I went on oa.org and found lots of groups listed near me! I will go this week if the information is indeed correct and they are where and when the website says.

Thanks for the review. I am considering going to a local meeting of OA. I have managed to keep a decent amount of weight off, but it continues to be a struggle because of the compulsive desire to eat. This was very helpful. <3

OA is great for working out your issues with food.

I speak from experience though that is tough. Tougher than any diet or exercise program. Because OA forces you to exercise your mind and deal with the issues that cause you to overeat in the first place. For me that was like pulling teeth! But well worth it!!!

its not easy to just go I mean I've been heavy since i was ten and the abuse people use hurts self esteem

[bigpinkears]

dude, just make yourself. if you make yourself go once, confidence will no longer be an issue. these folks open their arms wide and take you in. and when you hear about all these other folks problems, you realize that you are among people who are the same as you.

seriously, just force yourself to go, just once. it will be so much easier to go the second time.
