5 out of 5 stars There is a solution   May 28, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The 12 steps of Overeaters Anonymous is a book that teaches you to live your life today what ever your size is. Overeaters can be the slim ones as well as the ones with overweight, they suffer the same way!

It is not what you are eating it is what is eating you.

After walking the steps with a sponsor I am now free of this sick compulsion. I read this book all the time and go to meetings. You can find your meeting at [...]

5 out of 5 stars Core Material   February 26, 2008
Core material - and a breath of fresh air to the 'eat less and less and take diet boosters and blasters' voices out there. I also recommend a new book that has real food recipes for one of the original foodplans of early OA. For The Original Overeaters Anonymous Very Low Carbohydrate Food Plan: Greysheet Recipes. This is a beautiful book. I bought it because I'm on the low carb, healthy, food plan. It has great recipes. I really like the protein and vegetable recipes. I can never think of enough things to do with vegetables. Now I know what other people are cooking. I'm glad to learn more about phone and in person meetings. I never knew where the term "greysheet" came from. I have wanted to learn more about it for a long time.


5 out of 5 stars Healing emotional hunger one step at a time   May 14, 2005
 40 out of 40 found this review helpful

Before the image of an OA meeting being filled with obese people fills your mind ... think again. An overeater can be anyone ... fashion model ... successful accountant in a size 8 ... fitness trainer ... midly plump dental assistant ... anyone. The causes and reasons are different. Overeating is not a lack of willpower but an emotional relationship to food that has someone not know when to stop. Eating is natural, overeating needs to be addressed so as to protect our very health. This wonderful "bible" for Overeaters Anonymous helps those in recovery work their healing one day at a time. Whether at a meeting, or in a personal inventory, or in working with a sponsor ... this contains elements of surrendering our will power to a higher power. Whether you believe in God or not, the notion of not having to do this alone is a welcome relief for many caught in a viscious circle of emotional medication through misuse of food. The concept of a higher power enables someone to be open to group support and feel the possibility of living a healthier way. This book is a program that is not a quick fix, a diet, or anykind of body makeover technique. What it provides is a way of thinking and living that addresses the root of using food as a drug.


5 out of 5 stars This book is a lifesaver   May 4, 2003

Not much else to say, but that I use this book on a regular basis and consider it fundamental to my recovery from compulsive overeating. It's a challenging book and seems to grow in meaning as I grow in understanding!

This is an excellent book for people who are addicted to compulsive eating. If you use the principles of OA in your daily lives, you will be able to stop eating compulsively and lose the excess weight.
