Are You A Compulsive Overeater?
This series of questions may help you determine if you are a compulsive
overeater. Many members of Overeaters Anonymous have found that they
have answered yes to many of these questions.
Do you eat when you're not hungry?
Do you go on eating binges for no apparent reason?
Do you have feelings of guilt and remorse after overeating?
Do you give too much time and thought to food?
Do you look forward with pleasure and anticipation to the time when
you can eat alone?
Do you plan these secret binges ahead of time?
Do you eat sensibly before others and make up for it alone?
Is your weight affecting the way you live your life?
Have you tried to diet for a week (or longer), only to fall short
of your goal?
Do you resent others telling you to "use a little willpower" to
stop overeating?
Despite evidence to the contrary, have you continued to assert that
you can diet "on your own" whenever you wish?
Do you crave to eat at a definite time, day or night, other than
mealtime?
Do you eat to escape from worries or trouble?
Have you ever been treated for obesity or a food-related condition?
Does your eating behavior make you or others unhappy?
Overeaters Anonymous offers a program of recovery from compulsive
overeating 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.
Unlike other organizations, OA is not just about weight loss, obesity
or diets; it addresses physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
It is not a religious organization and does not promote any particular
diet. To address weight loss, OA encourages members to develop a food
plan with a health care professional and a sponsor. If you want to stop
your compulsive eating, welcome to Overeaters Anonymous.
