[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 606035, member: 1514"] What you are talking about is the reason I have never been overly fond of the anonymous groups. I have never been to AA or Alanon or any of those types but I went twice to Overeaters Anonymous and had terrible times at both. The first group was just weird. They had coffee, drinks and donuts ...lol. Then they wanted everyone to talk about all this stuff I just thought I would never tell strangers so I only went 2 or 3 times. The next group was here where I live and it was even weirder. I actually thought it would be great because I could use it as a place to make some friends and meet people in this town. However when we got in there and started talking about the issue I was told that we couldnt talk about dieting, anything to do with food, or anything to do with how our stresses lead us to overeat. I actually looked at the lady running the group and asked her what in the world we were supposed to talk about there considering the name of the group. Maybe we were going to learn to knit or something...lol [/QUOTE]
