Possible Warning Signs:
This series of questions may help you determine if you are a
compulsive overeater. Many members of Overeaters Anonymous have found
that they have answered yes to many of these questions.
-
Do you eat when you're not hungry?
-
Do you go on eating binges for no apparent
reason?
-
Do you have feelings of guilt and remorse
after overeating?
-
Do you give too much time and thought to food?
-
Do you look forward with pleasure and
anticipation to the time when you can eat alone?
-
Do you plan these secret binges ahead of time?
-
Do you eat sensibly before others and make up
for it alone?
-
Is your weight affecting the way you live your
life?
-
Have you tried to diet for a week (or longer),
only to fall short of your goal?
-
Do you resent others telling you to "use a
little willpower" to stop overeating?
-
Despite evidence to the contrary, have you
continued to assert that you can diet "on your own" whenever you
wish?
-
Do you crave to eat at a definite time, day or
night, other than mealtime?
-
Do you eat to escape from worries or trouble?
-
Have you ever been treated for obesity or a
food-related condition?
-
Does your eating behavior make you or others
unhappy?
Is OA For You?
Only you can decide that question...no one else can make this
decision for you. We who are now in OA have found a way of life which
enables us to live without the need for excess food. We believe that
compulsive overeating is a progressive illness...one that, like
alcoholism and some other illnesses, can be arrested. Remember, there
is no shame in admitting you have a problem; the most important thing
is to do something about it.
