My mother was gorgeous but had mental issues. My dad was hugely racist. My role models was badly skewed. I had major feeling with no appropriate way to handle them. I was a mean nasty kid. I tried everything but fit nowhere. Drugs alcohol, spiritual practices and 2 steps programs. I had been sober over 30 years when I was 12 stepped back into OA. Call or text my sponsor with my food almost every day. Today I go to 3 OA meetings a weeks ,Sponsor and stick close to my food plan.

Came in @ 280 I have generations before and current with compulsive behaviors. I had original escape mechanisms of reading and fantasizing. In 7th grade I learned to tools of compulsive eating. I felt I never got got Life's Rule Book until I came into program. I began my journey of recovery- wanting a change. I did not get to OA until My way yielded a 3rd plateau. I learned of OA but I needed AA which had stronger recovery to help me to work my OA program. I had to completely rewire my brain, A

Top weight over 400 (when I came into program) @400 I was always hot and did not realize it had anything to do with my weight. I used to send fake pictures of my food. No clue about rigorous honesty. Not a fat kid but always obsessed with food. I always thought could stop, I just changed my mind. . daily I same in from another program but couldn't accept food was that bad. I had to try every diet, every food plan thinking I could handle it, I was unique. Eventually I accepted I really needed help

Introduced to OA in 83 - worked well as a diet- a couple of times in 1999 I was over 300LBS. I In high school I started gaining weight and had no idea why. It went from a choice to an obsession. I got a sponsor who introduced e to all the tools to use for one day . I made calls, went to meetings, did as my sponsor suggested. Anonymity remains in the forefront of my relationships I still have a sponsor who has a sponsor. I sponsor as well and love to do service. Today I have a clear food plan

Just so you know - This program works! Picture 1 - 420 Lbs and lots of heath issues. Picture 2 -3.5 years later in healthy body. Today I have freedom from the bondage of self. Freedom to live a quality life and way more. I was always 'Husky' and had an addiction to sugar and flour but didn't know it at the time. I have found that when I fully work the program, follow suggestions. and avoid opinions about an experience I have NOT had, I am no longer obsessed with food and my life goes well. I

I have lost 100 lbs twice before I came to OA. I was an only child and in my family and my friends houses everything was about the food. I was the biggest my entire school experience. Never thought of myself as dainty. I had no clue what an appropriate amount of food was. My husband and I became eating buddies until I did the protein shake diet. At the the end I went back to my old ways. Hypnosis worked . . . for a minute. I came into program at 61 years old. At my first OA meeting everyone looked

I always want to be profound but I have to remember it is not about me. I came in in 2003 after weight loss surgery. Since I was already loosing weight I did not embrace OA right away. Half measures at best. After 7 months I started gaining. Then I became desperate and honestly worked the steps. I got into service bit if you called me at home I wouldn't answer. It did not hold and I eventually went into relapse until 2021. I heard the BAA Big book should be read like a text book. My recovery

I was an exercise bulimic before I knew what it was and still gained weight. Found OA went to a few meetings and decided to do it myself which failed miserably. I have been abstinent for 22 years and still call y sponsor every day (I am on my third sponsor). I sponsored early and it worked great. I stayed abstinent and so did some of them .

Started with pictures. Young pictures don't indicate major problem yet. Got dismissed from Marine Corp because I could not maintain the weight standard. By 2007 many areas of my life were out of control Came into OA over 300 lbs Today I stay under 200 with my doctor acknowledging my program and results. I can have a 'gutter ball day' but a 10th step puts me back on track.

Came in over 500 Lbs My portion was bag box and carton or more. My problem was my bondage of self. Food wasn't my problem, it was my solution. I was the result of what happened to me as a shild which I cannot change I can change how I react. Taking the next right action was/is My form of willingness. I didn't believe it could work for me but I did it anyway. At 419 I was in the hospital being told I HAD to loose weight or die think giving up my 'friend' was that same as death. The moment I was

I reset my time over a year ago because I was eating abstinent food compulsively. I am honest about my food. It may nor be perfect but I tell the truth Now I have a service position at every one of my regular meetings. My marriage was in danger when I came into the program. Working MY programs helps my

Maintaining 70 LB weight loss for 17 years. I was a sugar addict as long as I can remember. My first diet at 11 years old and it never ended Thin, fat, thin, fat, thin, fat ........ every diet worked for a minute. After multiple diets my food plan became 'I'll eat whsaever I want' up to 185. My first OA meeting was a sugar addict abstinent fro 22 years. That got my attention. I just kept going understanding little. It was a service position that changed it for me. People got to know me, I fell a

I was 'chubby' by 10. As I got older I got heavier and lonlier. I lost my first 100 pounds early in high school. But I was still discontent and drooped out in 10th grade. 20 - 30 yrs old - Loose weight, get job, gain weight, loose job and blamed the world. In 1999 I ended in CA, lost 150 on my own and I had arrived . for a minute. I ended in OA, was loosing weight and I was my God. I got a sponsor, followed Direction, did the steps, had appropriate results and ended up employed. My recovery is

I was not a fat kid but was still obsessed with food. Unhealthy childhood led to a plethora of issues arriving over the years. I used a complicated plan of compulsive eating, drugging, exersizing to maintain what I wanted. I came into OA relatively small and put on all my weight in programs. I put on 100 lbs with my first pregnancy and I was sober. Steps 1-3 getting right with god, 4-9 getting right with people, 10-12 rocketed into the 4th dimension. Things I have learned, Crisis thoughts pass. So

In OA 18 Years, Up and down 100 multiple times in and out of OA. Currently 4 years. I used to think food was my problem. Life was my problem. Food was my solution. I was sure being overweight I would get Covid and die but it did not stop me.c In all `18 years I never left OA but i definitely hopped around meetings, sponsors, food plans. I knew I could not do it alone, but I kept trying and THAT failed. Behind a picture at an OA birthday I heard what I needed to jump back into the program for real
