Overeater's Anonymous is a group of individuals who through shared experience, strength, and hope are recovering from compulsive overeating.

There are no dues or fees for membership.

We welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively. There are meetings you may attend, people you can call for support, books to read, journalling and writing, and most importantly people who understand because at some time or another we have all been there.

Our program is based on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.

You may not be certain if OA is for you.

Why not try a few meetings and reflect on the following questions:

1. Do you eat when you're not hungry?
2. Do you go on eating binges for no apparent reason?
3. Do you have feelings of guilt and remorse after overeating?
4. Do you give too much time and thought to food?
5. Do you look forward with pleasure and anticipation to the time when you can eat alone?
6. Do you plan these secret binges ahead of time?
7. Do you eat sensibly before others and make up for it alone?
8. Is your weight affecting the way you live your life?
9. Have you tried to diet for a week (or longer), only to fall short of your goal?
10. Do you resent others telling you to "use a little willpower" to stop overeating?
11. Despite evidence to the contrary, have you continued to assert that you diet "on your own" whenever you wish?
12. Do you crave to eat at a definite time, day or night, other than mealtime?
13. Do you eat to escape from worries or troubles?
14. Have you ever been treated for obesity or a food-related condition?
15. Does your eating behaviour make you or others unhappy?
