Do You Need A Food Addiction Treatment Center?

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed

If your doctor says you are dangerously overweight, then you need to do something about it. If anyone else says you are dangerously overweight, don’t worry about it. If you look in the mirror and don’t see Kate Moss looking back at you, you might not need a food addiction treatment center. If you can’t fit out the door to see the doctor, then that is a clear sign that you may need the help of a food addiction treatment center.

Not A Sign Of Weakness

Okay, you’re fat. Fat happens. What are you going to do about it? Only you can answer that question. If you couldn’t care less that you are fat, fine. Go read Martha Stewart. No skin off my nose. But if you are still reading this and need to loose the weight fast ONLY because of a medical condition, then I will try to help you help yourself.

First off, you need to ask for help. There’s no shame in that. If your house was on fire, you’d ask for help, wouldn’t you? I certainly hope you would. Ask your doctor if you need a food addiction treatment center and if he or she can recommend one to you. Ask any of your trusted family and friends how they lost weight and kept it off. Don’t ask Ophrah. She can afford to hire other people to diet for her.

Overeaters Anonymous

Although there are hospital and clinic versions of food addiction treatment centers, they often cost a small fortune and have a waiting list. If you need help and advice fast, then check out Overeaters Anonymous. They have over 6500 meeting groups in 65 countries, so you are bound to find one in your area. If you can’t get out of the house for whatever reason, there are some online Overeaters Anonymous type support groups.

Overeaters Anonymous uses the same 12 step programs that have worked for Alcoholics Anonymous and Gamblers Anonymous. Each group has its own flavor (excuse the pun). Some will downplay religion; others are little more than Bible meetings. You are allowed to just sit and observe to see if you like the group. You don’t have to join it if you don’t like it.

Many people do like food addiction treatment centers like Overeaters Anonymous because they’re free, gets you out of the house and has you meet others who are worse off than you are. This can be surprisingly helpful. You can also make friends, have a laugh and realize you are not all alone.
