Starting a good day

So today when I woke up, I was so exhausted that I did not want to go anywhere but I knew that I had an OA that I promised myself that I would go to. I went to it and it was just so great. It wasn't just compulsive overeaters. It was people with anerexia and bulimia and overeaters and bingers...It was just so awesome to hear all the stories and to speak out and tell them that I needed support. I am so happy that I went to it because now I do not feel so alone. I am going to go to another meeting tomorrow and I hope that it will be just as good as the one I went to today.  The feeling that I got from the meeting was like a little bit of the weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I am just so relieved that I took the time to take care of myself and to find answers. Anyways, I hope the rest of today goes just as well, I am staying positive though that it will.

good for you! I am so glad, I\'m struggling with the alone feeling and I just feel tired and can\'t be motivated to move. i know it makes things worse but can\'t seem to push myself. Finding people to talk to will help you so much, I\'m really glad for you. *hug*

Hi! My mom is trying desperately to get me to go to OA because when she was an overeater it helped her. I\'m so scared to go, partially because I feel like I wouldn\'t \"fit in\". Yeah, that sounds shallow. But would you say anorexics and bulemics fit in too?
I read one of your comments that said something about wearing loose clothes and body dysmorphia. I hate that! I can\'t STAND tight clothes. The have to be loose or I feel like I\'m SO fat and I\'m suffocating.
I hope your weekend went well!
