Has anyone been to overeaters anonymous or a food related group?

Does anyone consider themselves to be addicted to food? Have the meetings benefitted anyone?

I have been to a few meetings over the past few years. I don't consider myself addicted to food, but I definately have food issues.

Has anyone else tried groups?

I understand weight watchers has meetings. Are those helpful?

Thanks

i think the two biggest factors (in my case, anyway), when it comes to eating is: 1) idle hands ... if I'm bored, i eat 2) crutch ... if I'm stressed or something is going seriously wrong in my life ... the fridge is always there for me

when it comes to idle hands i'd rather smoke than eat!
