I am not recovered but I AM Free. I didn't want to change how I ate, just did not want the consequences. I believe I was born a compulsive eater, Over or under did not matter. I came to OA In 2016 because I wanted a diet for free with group support. planning to leave once I got what I wanted. I had not moral compass. The only reason I didn't steal food was because I was afraid of getting caught. Food was my anesthesia for my life. Diets made me think had power which I did not have. I am a

My home groups a 100 Pounder Meeting. I resonate with those at the bottom who continue to eat. I I thought my clothes would trick you when my face didn't I never knew what a "Normal" body size was. I lied to myself everyday about what I would eat. I have been in the program for about 20 years. however 3 years ago I was deep into a relapse, waking up in the middle of the night sick. The day I got abstinent the change was so dramatic it affected me negatively physically and emotionally for weeks

A Leap of Faith Topped out at more than 285 LBs Kept asking myself questions about how to fix my body paired with ongoing self deprecation. I got exhausted from malnutrition. I gained weight on the injection program. I little voice reminded me I had heard of something like Overeaters Anonymous. So found it online and went to a meeting. At first I was drawn to the pain of others because i felt I was not alone. I had analyzed the problem and finally heard about ' the solution' in the Big Book - The

My family was in the food business. I had access to all foods anytime. I was bullied in Jr and Sr High school. 4 months before I came into OA I had a dream about my death and my daughter's pain. I did ultra sports at 385 lbs. It allowed me to load up with food. Focus on recovery - loose weight. Focus on weight - loose recovery. Bariatric rules were similar to OA food plan. OA was cheaper. Got a sponsor followed direction, lost 190 lbs in 15 months. I can play with my grandkids on the floor. . and

Lost a bunch of weight. and then took my will back. I was given direction to pray which was not he kind of direction I thought I needed but I did it anyway.

In program for 47.5 years. Currently 4.5 years continuous abstinence. Talking today about Emotional sobriety. Recovery is not just abstinence. For 43 years I would turn it over and take it back but never left. The steps as written in the Big Book of AA have brought me emotional sobriety. Today I can go down any aisle in the grocery store. Previously I would avoid aisle based on who was shopping. I now experience personal neutrality.

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

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
