    At last.  A chance to spread the truth and reality.  Not every overweight person is a compulsive eater and not every compulsive eater is overweight.

    Compulsive eating is the same disease as alcoholism, just a different 'drug of choice'.

    I am a compulsive eater.  I've enjoyed the miracle of not overeating and suffered the pain of relapse.  OA is the only program that gives me the tools to find my way back to sane eating.  The weight loss is a gift, but more so is the peace of mind and ability to live my life instead of my compulsion running me.

      Not one COE is alike, but we all have one thing in common;for myself of course,I have a distored body image and I use food,whether to much or to little, to abuse my body. For me, I am a Bulimic, a restrictor, and compulsive over eater. People have a lot of misconceptions about this fellowship. We are not a diet and calories club, we learn how to live day to day in a food loving world.
