for more than 35 years..OA saved my life. Now if anyone knows of quick fixes, they are scams. Controlling one's weight is a life long process. I have read a lot about it, but it takes patience and time. For some of us, spirituality helps, but not necessary. ....But what is most important could be those 3 words.

..........................................................."But its tough"......................................

...............................That is totally true. In the United States right now..12/16/2018....there are
..................................over 100,000,000..million of us with varying degrees of Eating Disorders..

Some are underweight, overweight, anorexia., grossly overweight, starving to death, and so on. Of course, most of us think we are alone, but yes, that number is correct..100 million in the U.S are struggling with
Eating Disorders.. And most important..We must never give up...We can win this, One day at a time...
