No suprize, I gained 7 pounds this month on my docotor's scale,.......I told her that I had been successful on South Beach, and could be again. I spoke about emotional eating, and she mentioned overeaters anonomys. Well for today I am going to go back to square one on SB and I'll see about the other in due time. I have also made a new commitment to exercise and use my curves membership regularly. It amazes me how QUICKLY I cn pout ON the pounds, and how long and hard it is to take it off. Oh well, here is to the toughness I have to find within me to get going in the right direction. I will journal here and enter food DAILY as I did when I was successful. I KNOW this is the place to come (first place for me)!

I went to several OA meetings several years ago. I'm not sure if I would want to get into the 12 step program (although I hear it helps many people). However, as a point of reference, and for other reasons, I think it is worth it to participate in a few meetings, maybe taking what one needs and leaving the rest behind. It's a good group. Hang in there Susie.

I agree with information. I also went to OA meetings for a while. They have some good information and ideas to help you get started. You can do it Susie.

The South Beach group here at Fat Secret is VERY supportive and helpful. I have found everyone to be knowledgeable and well informed too. Although I am no expert -- in any sense of the word -- I do have two friends (a happily married couple) who have attended OA meetings. In hearing about their experiences, I have come to believe that their success with OA was mostly because their obsessive eating was linked to other addictions -- in this particular case -- gambling and drinking.

It doesn't hurt to check OA out and make your own decision. Goggle OA and see where there are meetings in your area. If you don't like person to person meetings there are also phone meetings and online meetings. Good luck finding what works for your emotional eating. ((HUGS)). Keep coming back!

Thanks for all the information on OA........The doctor actually said what you did Info; that even a few meetings could help. Its great to learn also Julie about the online meetings and phone calls.
