Practice an Attitude of Gratitude!

Compulsive Overeating is an equal opportunity destroyer

Sorrow is looking back; worry is looking around; hope is looking forward

Getting something you've never had requires doing something you've never done

I came for the vanity and stayed for the sanity

If you keep doin' what your doin',
you'll keep gettin' what your gettin'

Dwell on the problem and the problem gets bigger. Dwell on the solution, the solution gets bigger

WHAT IS OA ?

Overeaters Anonymous offers a program of recovery from compulsive eating using the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of OA. Worldwide meetings and other tools provide a fellowship of experience, strength and hope where members respect one another’s anonymity. OA charges no dues or fees; it is self-supporting through member contributions.

WHO BELONGS IN OA ?

OA members experience many different patterns of food behaviors.
These "symptoms" are as varied as our membership. Among them are:
- eating binges or grazing
- obsession with body weight, size and shape
- laxative or diuretic abuse
- inability to stop eating certain foods after taking the first bite
- constant preoccupation with food

ARE YOU A COMPULSIVE OVEREATER ?

Do I eat when I’m not hungry, or not eat when my body needs nourishment ?

Do I go on eating binges for no apparent reason, sometimes eating until I’m stuffed or even feel sick ?

Do I have feelings of guilt, shame or embarrassment about my weight or the way I eat?

IS OA FOR YOU ?

Only you can decide that question. No one else can make this decision for you. We who are now in OA have found a way of life which enables us to live without the need for excess food. We believe that compulsive eating is a progressive illness, one that, like alcoholism and some other illnesses, can be arrested. Remember, there is no shame in admitting you have a problem; the most important thing is to do something about it.

Why is OA anonymous?

Anonymity allows the Fellowship to govern itself through principles rather than personalities. Social and economic status have no relevance in OA; we are all compulsive eaters. Anonymity at the level of press, radio, television and other media of communication provides assurance that OA membership will not be disclosed.

Where can I find OA?

How Is OA funded?

Overeaters Anonymous has no dues or fees for membership. It is entirely self-supporting through literature sales and member contributions. Most groups “pass the basket” at meetings to cover expenses. OA does not solicit or accept outside contributions.
