Grazing: Need Northwest Georgia Support Group

Hi All: I moved from Indiana to beautiful Northwest Georgia in August 2013. I'm doing OK, but would be much better if I hadn't started "grazing" in November and December 2013. I researched information about grazing which is a form of "binging" & it's a serious eating disorder. My weight loss plateau for these two months with no further change proved I was sabotaging myself. Now I know that I must find a good weight loss support group to attend weekly to fight food addiction. Also, there's no heated pool where I live now for water fitness, which is the only way I can safely exercise with Fibromyalgia. Thank God my new stomach pouch limits my food intake from six to eight ounces max. No matter how good a meal tastes, & how much I want to continue eating, when my stomach pouch gets full, I immediately stop eating to avoid getting sick and dumping. I only overeat when I'm distracted and not paying attention to my feeding. It's real important for me to avoid eating while watching TV or sitting at the computer because suddenly I become sick with a tight stomach needing relief because it's overstuffed! It's shocking how I can repeatedly use a fork to spear food, raise it to put food into my mouth, chew and swallow the food, and not be conscious of what I'm doing when my attention is focused on something else. Rome, Georgia has a Bariatric Center of Excellence facility, so I'll try there since no Overeaters Anonymous, or Meetup Groups for weight loss are anywhere in my area. To date, I am at (-74) pounds since Gastric Bypass Surgery in March, 2013.
