Emotional Eating...

By RACAL

· 571 views

Does anyone on this Blog come from the Andover,Ma.area?

I need to find a support group fast.

I am only 4 months in and already using food as an emotional crutch to some hard times.

The scary thing is that It actually hurts to eat certain foods and yet I am anyway.

If this is not a sign that I need help,I do not know what is.

So if anyone knows of any place I can go to talk to other People who are going through what I am..I would really appreciate it.

The place I got the Surgery only meets once a Month and not at a convenient time for me.

    Have you considered a local OA (Overeater's Anonymous) meetings?

    In the mean time don't forget you can chat with people here. Have you tried the chat room or maybe you can PM someone on here going though what you are going through? Sorry I can't answer your question about a support group in your area, maybe someone else will know. Sorry your having a hard time. I'm sure you will find what you need. Good luck.

    I live in Randolph south of Boston and go to the support group at BI/Milton. I know the BI/Boston has meetings twice a month. Is there a local hospital in the Andover area? Ask your doctor. I have one tomorrow night. I know Boston is about 45-60 minutes away but once a month isn't too bad in this weather so you can get support.

    Good luck.
