June 9, 1980 is when I started going to Overeaters Anonymous..Kind of an Anniversary [View all]

After a year or year & 1/2 ...I lost about 60 pounds..from 215 to about 155...I have been at somewhere between 155 - 165 for over 38 years..In 1982, I threw the scale away, and have not owned one since then...To make a long story very short, I had tried lots of diets and ideas, but Overeaters Anonymous saved my life..I got the weight off, and kept it off for more than 38 years. Without the program and the meetings, I would have died.

.. At the lower weight, I have had all kinds of surgeries. You name it, I have had it..And I am still here to write these words..Writing these words is a miracle, I am very grateful for that miracle..

After a while, I started going to other 12 step meetings. So I have gone to AA, Emotions Anonymous, Co-Dependence Anonymous, Clutters Anonymous and others too. I have met lots of great people, & had lots of positive experiences & fun. Thank You for reading this..
