Episode Synopsis

Condensing 43 years into a 20 minute talk I was eating anything I could as long as I can remember. Rather than a defect my eating was a defense. I took massive amount of diets pills. and YoYoed on the heavy side of the Yo. I married and got pregnant. the doctor said my my weight could harm the child. I did not care. Gave birth at 300. In 1981, at 329, I planned to eat until died . 6 Months later I went to OA. 6 months later I got a sponsor. I was dilegant n my food plan, got down to 115 and still my life was not perfect. Relapsed, plus 65 lbs, and finally back- against my will into OA in 1997 Today My life is OA and OA is my life. I do service, outreach, sponsor, read literature and immerse myself in the lore of OA.  Any appropriate social skills I have today I learned in OA.
