response: Yes, are you aware of Overeaters Anonymous? It and others are 12-step programs that help overeaters.
original_response: The 12 step program helps over eaters also, not just for alcoholics or drug addicts.
history: I used to have quite the issue with overeating, especially since I had no idea how much calories were in certain foods. I see, did you also have a compulsive consumption of high fat and sugar foods? Yeah, they're so much easier to access than before since sweet foods are thought of by the body as occasional treats. Okay, and did you also depend on the food as comfort when stressed or depressed or feeling helpless? Yeah, when I felt stressed or depression. I managed to overcome it but are there programs out there to help those who wish to?
knowledge: There are several 12-step programs that helps overeaters, such as Overeaters Anonymous or Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous and others.
