Oregon Rose 2 Posted May 14, 2010 I tried OA and didn't like it. I think there is a lot of guilt thinking involved. I really didn't need any more guilt. Guilt and discouragement go hand in hand. If you feel discouraged, you stop fighting your obesity. This is a death sentence. The group pressure is for you to confess that you are a compulsive overeater. Are you? Not everybody who is obese is eating compulsively. You will have to decide if you are heavy because you eat in a compulsive manner, you have poor nutritional habits, you never exercise, or you have a medically proven metabolic problem. Some may have a combination of these things. You have to discover why you are obese and choose the appropriate solution. If you are eating compulsively, then a GOOD therapist would be the first choice for getting to the bottom of why you are eating compulsively. OA also might help in this case. Maybe what you need is to correct your nutritional habits. Some time spent with a dietician might help in this case. Maybe you are a couch potato. Join a gym, a hiking group, a dancing group, etc. Find some form of exercise you can enjoy. If you come from a family of obesity, seek out an endochronologist. OA isn't right for everyone.
