Welcome to OA Founded in 1960 and patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous, OA deals with compulsive eating, anorexia, and bulimia. Thousands of compulsive overeaters, anorexics, bulimics who were without hope have now found recovery in OA. We welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively. There are no dues or fees for members; we are self-supporting through our own contributions, neither soliciting nor accepting outside donations. OA is not affiliated with any public or private organization, political movement, ideology, or religious doctrine; we take no position on outside issues. Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive overeating, self-starvation, or purging, and to carry this message of recovery to those who still suffer. |

Are you a compulsive overeater? Use the following series of questions to help you determine if you are a compulsive overeater.
~ 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, self-starvation, or purging? ~ 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, starving yourself, or purging?
OA CAN HELP! |
