For those that OA works for,(because it doesn't work for everyone) but
just to let you know that there is a really good OA meeting at Rebel's
Drop In in Hollywood at 6:30 on Tuesdays.
It helps me with my binge eating, yet sometimes is a little triggering
in terms of weight. They do not talk trigger food though.
About weight, mine is healthy weight; hard to accept because I am a bit
on the anorexic side. but it's still hard to look in the mirror and
say "I'm ok" I'm 46, my body is a gift from god, (I think), and I'd
like to learn to enjoy it before I no longer can.I used to think I was
worthy because I ran so much and derived a strong sense of pleasure
from it. Now that I am injured and no longer can do that, I have to
learn new life skills. That's what the program at Hollywood Pavilion is
helping me with. I cry often in there, because the 'causes and
conditions' of the eating disorder are deep, and we are doing that kind
of work.
