    I did FA for 9 months and lost 40kg. It works and I felt great but the amount of work involved equated to a part-time job, ie weighing and measuring EVERYTHING, ringing a sponsor overseas every single day for 15 mins, attending 3 meetings a week, journaling..... Turns out being thin didn't miraculously fix my life! I fell off the wagon and gained it all back, multiple times.

    I'd heard of "Overeaters Anonymous" for much of my life, but I always thought it was a bad punch line.

    I plan on it after I eat my Jack-in-the-Box breakfast burrito, hash browns and OJ.

    Yes. My anonymity was broken and I never went back. I do another 12 step program for other issues. I apply those principles to all my addictive behaviour, including over eating
