Kansas City Overeaters Anonymous - A Welcome To The Newcomers

Have you tried diet clubs, shots, pills, weight doctors, etc., only to
achieve short-lived success followed by further failures-gaining and
regaining weight each time? Have you known the despair of feeling fat?
Are you thin now, but know you are on your way up? Is your eating out
of control?

Many people want long-term freedom from their obsession with food
and weight and often use extreme and unhealthy measures to achieve
this including purging and starving. While some are able to achieve this
freedom on their own, the majority struggle most of their lives with the
problem.

Overeaters Anonymous (OA) is a program based upon the 12 steps of
Alcoholics Anonymous. Today, it is an organization that has meetings
on every continent and is growing. It treats the food and weight problem
not as a lack of willpower or a moral defect, but as a disease that can
be arrested.

This 12-step program offers a recovery for the physical, emotional and
spiritual aspects of compulsive eating. OA is not a professional diet
club. This organization does not endorse specific food plans or diets.

OA offers a message of hope and recovery from this serious problem.
No matter what size you are when you come to OA, if you want to be
free of the obsession with food, the OA program can work for you. If
you want to learn how to live a life free of compulsive eating, OA can
help.

If there is an OA group near you, its members will be happy to welcome
you and give you further information and help, along with additional
literature.
