I was shopping for some staples when I came across a piece of ginger much larger than I needed.  For what I hope is an obvious reason, I had to get it. I got another smaller piece too. I haven’ t had the heart to use this yet. I stocked up on a number of items in [...]

Every movement needs a symbol. I’m thinking of turning this into an embroidered patch to sell at OA conventions. Never too early to place your order.

The only requirement for membership in Overeaters Anonymous is a desire to stop eating compulsively. That’s our third tradition. Success, whatever that is, is not a requirement.
