This is not a diet, but it certainly helps you to connect with the only being who really can help you keep the weight off...God. I can't do it, that's for sure.

Working the twelve steps brought me freedom from diets, freedom from overeating and freedom from being obsessed with food and I lost 14lbs.

OA is a wonderful programme, emotionally supporting me without the necessity of drugs. No groups in my area though so now I have DS to help me which is working very well.

went for 6 weeks in very beginning and then gave up, recently went back and am finding it helpful because I am trying to work it this time.

This was not a positive experience for me because the group I attended believed ED's were "diseases" that could not be overcomed, I believe ED's are emotions & issues that need to be dealt with and we can redirect and heal.

I love going to the meetings but I just find it hard to get there. I have to be more regimented with getting there every week. The people are wonderful and so supportive.
