Tami has always had a problematic relationship with food, never knowing what 'normal' eating was. Despite accumulating a comprehensive knowledge of food, nutrition and dieting she was unable to contol her compulsion to binge. Diets and attempts to eat in a controlled way did not work. It was only when she went to her first meeting of Overeaters Anonymous that Tami realised that many people had exactly the same problem and that it was possible to overcome it with support from others, avoiding trigger foods and practising the 12 Steps of recovery. Tami is no longer pre-occupied with her weight, leaving her the energy to build a fulfilling life for herself, based on self-knowledge and service to others.
If you are having difficulty with compulsive overeating you might like to contact Overeaters Anonymous. You can find them at oa.org.au. All meetings welcome newcomers and the only requirement for OA membership is the desire to stop eating compulsively.
There are meetings listed on the website at oa.org.au/meetings - these may be face-to-face, online or hybrid meetings.
