Can I join your group?

Some of you already know me from an accountability group, although most everyone has left and gone elsewhere. Even the founder of the group rarely posts anything so I think it's time for me to move on too. I didnt' know until just now that there even WAS an overeaters anonymous group here at DS. I hope it's okay with everyone if I join you. I went to O.A. for many years and need to get back in to the step work and being honest. I need to be part of an active group like this where it's safe to talk about food issues. I don't think it's enough for me to just talk to one or two people about food issues and not get in to real recover which happens through working the steps and getting honest with myself and others. If anyone here does not want me to join here for any reason please give me a chance. I weigh 304 pounds and am very desperate to save my own life and sanity. I really do relate to all of you here. I hope it's okay with everyone that I am here. If not please let me know and we can hopefully talk about it and work things out. Thank you!

Of course you can join us. I wonder how many other members of DS don't know we are here.
At any rate, if you have checked out our discussions and the Step Questions and the NEWS section
you get to see what we attempt to do.
Many of us are in several groups on DS and several members belong to face to face weight loss groups.

I want to welcome you, your questions, comments and invite you to be a part of OA here on DS.

Welcome Heidi, its always great to have somebody new who can give us their insight on how the programme works for them. This programme has changed me over time which Im so grateful for and also grateful for BubblesDavey's leadership, her advice and wisdom, she will always be there for you. The steps work if you work them, takes time and demands honesty but that is when they start working for you. Have a great day and glad you are here.

Welcome Heidi, i'm happy to see you here, the only requirement for joining is wanting to stop compulsively eating, i would say you qualify. I definately do :)
OA has been a very safe place for me to grow and learn. I see you've had some experience in oa.
I have been in and out of programme for 5 years but have learnt so much.... even in my times away. I hope you find the love and support you need for your journey.

    Food Allergy?

    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...
