Recently discovered I am a CE.

I there. I've just recently discovered that I am a Compulsive Eater and have started going to meetings, and am looking for a support system on MFP.

I first went to OA on a friend's suggestion after I realized that I am scared of losing weight. I've been overweight since I was 5 years old... now 33 (this month)... without my weight, who am I? I've self-sabotaged myself more times than I can count every time I get within 10 lbs of 300. And each time I gain more than I lost that time.

After going to an OA meeting, and chatting with the leader for that week, I realized that I also exhibit compulsive eating behaviors that I never noticed I did. I've now gone to 2 meetings and admitted out-loud that I am a compulsive eater.

I want this to be the last time that I re-start the losing process.

There is an OA private group here, if interested. It's more active than in this forum.
