Yeah I have recently started attending an Over eaters annonymous group and it somewhat helps. My struggle is that I still have struggles admitting that I am ppowerless over this addiction which is the first step to recovery. Unless I admit that i am powerless and need the help of the program and God in this area I will continue to struggle.

I tried doing an outpatient group through the hospital. Did NOT work. Food journals were triggering, the staff kept going "Maybe you're not ready", they didn't like the idea of vegetarian meals, and they were HORRIBLE over the death of my mom to cancer which happened at the same time (it never rains, but it pours!)

Anyways, I quit that, and started a different outpatient group a couple of months later. Worlds different. I've been doing groups there for more than two years now, almost graduated from there...kind of nervous about that.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
