| Description: Online support for members of Overeaters Anonymous (OA) or anyone who believe he or she has issues concerning food
|

OA members experience many different patterns of food
behaviors. These "symptoms" are as varied as our
membership. Among them are:
- obsession with body weight, size and shape
- eating binges or grazing
- preoccupation with reducing diets
- starving
- laxative or diuretic abuse
- excessive exercise
- inducing vomiting after eating
- chewing and spitting out food
- use of diet pills, shots and other medical interventions to
control weight
- inability to stop eating certain foods after taking the first
bite
- fantasies about food
- vulnerability to quick-weight-loss schemes
- constant preoccupation with food
- using food as a reward or comfort
As I look over this list I recognize at least 5 or 6 items on this
list that I can relate to. No matter what our differences, we have
much in common. Today I walk hand in hand with others in OA who
support me and turn to my Higher Power instead of food all the time. If
you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, please come and join our support
newsgroup.
