Example 1: Pasta is ok with marinara sauce.Yellow-light foods are those you sometimes overeat.Green-light foods are those you can eat in moderation.One method identifies foods as “green-light,” “yellow-light,” and “red-light.” Make a list of your yellow- and red-light foods (also referred to as alcoholic foods): Some of us find that categorizing foods can be helpful.Listen to Special Edition podcast from A Vision 4 You website: Are you Really, Really Done by Esther C.Read A Study Guide for Overeaters: Step 1, Part 1.Next, you and your sponsor will work through the 12 Steps of OA. The activities below will help you and your sponsor clarify your triggers, define a food plan, and choose an abstinence that is right for you. Compulsive eaters are not powerless over all food we are powerless over the specific foods and/or behaviors that cause the desire for more. How it evolves often depends upon each OA member’s own self-discovery, willingness, and step work. Some examples of potentially problematic behaviors include eating in front of the TV, eating late at night, eating while driving, eating out of bags or containers, going back for multiple portions, skipping meals, inducing vomiting, over-exercising, and/or undereating, etc.Ībstinence for OA members may not be as clear as sobriety is for AA members, and unlike sobriety, abstinence may evolve over time.
#Food addicts anonymous food plan full
Foods full of fat, sugar, salt, flour, or a combination of these ingredients, cause problems for many compulsive eaters, though some of us can eat these foods without being triggered. The only relief for us compulsive eaters is abstinence from our triggers (addictive foods/behaviors).
Unlike normal eaters, who become satiated, because of our cravings, we eat more (and/or engage in more of our unhealthy food behaviors). When we eat our addictive foods and/or engage in our addictive behaviors, we cannot stop. This allergy makes us compulsive eaters different from normal eaters. This “craving for more” is what we in 12-step programs call an allergicreaction. Once we eat certain foods and/or engage in certain food behaviors, our bodies crave more. We use food to comfort our feelings and quiet our emotions. We who are real compulsive eaters find that certain foods and/or food behaviors provide us an instant, if temporary, sense, of ease and comfort. No matter what your problem with food-compulsive overeating, undereating, food addiction, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or over-exercising-there is a solution. You don’t have to hurt yourself with food anymore! Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive overeating and to carry this message of recovery to those who still suffer.Welcome home. OA members differ in many ways, but we are united by our common disease and the solution we have found in the OA program. It is not a religious organization and does not promote any particular diet. It addresses physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. OA is not just about weight loss, weight gain or maintenance, or obesity or diets. OA is not affiliated with any public or private organisations, political movement, ideology or religious doctrine we take no position on outside issues. There are no dues or fees for members we are self supporting through our own contributions, neither soliciting nor accepting outside donations. We welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively. Overeaters Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience, strength and hope are recovering from compulsive overeating.
