Anonymous, member since 2001, identifies as a compulsive overeater, century person, and relapser. Anonymous' share from the Tuesday evening Century Meeting includes the following themes: it’s about the food • OA: a 3-pronged program (the physical, the emotional, & the spiritual) • what I was like (developing bad habits at a young age) • practicing Steps -1 thru -12 in all of my affairs (Bizarro World 12 Steps) • finding OA • using the Tools of Recovery as a newcomer • gifts of recovery • epiphany: wanting children • feeling normal for the 1st time • food made me feel less out of place • post-move 30 meetings in 30 days • Step 1 versus Step 7 (powerLESSness versus powerFULness) • comparing Step 7 to Tradition 1 • Steps are about me & Traditions are about we • humility • gift of clarity
A century person is an individual who has lost or needs to lose 100 pounds or more.
