Feeding
Ourselves
30 Bartlett Ave
Arlington, MA 02476
Phone: 1-781-662-5279
Website: feedingourselves.com/
"... is a three phase program for people who want to change both the way
they eat and the way they confront their weight problem. Most participants share a long
history of battling their extra pounds in an endless succession of diets and other
weight-loss schemes, and have finally wearied of the "yo-yo syndrome"- dieting
and bingeing up and down the scale in a painful cycle of high hopes soon dashed by
feelings of failure and frustration. Other members may not be overweight, but suffer from
compulsive over-eating, binge eating and the related eating disorder, bulimia. The
vulnerability all participants share is feeling out of control with food, and that their
preoccupation with eating and weight is draining their lives of valuable time and
energy."
This site does not contain too much information, although you may contact the
group
to receive information about public speakers, events, workshops, counseling, training, and
newsletters. -OCC

"We started this site due to the distinct lack of approachable and
fun sites to help, advise, support and cheer up those suffering with eating disorders. Most
the sites we found offered advice but no support or looked like patronizing books of
condolence with lilies and black borders (for goodness sake!). So we decided to start this
up and form an online community which would generate a positive supportive atmosphere as
well as allowing those participating in the forums to make friends with people who know
what they are experiencing and be able to talk about anything (even just what kind of day
they had) without other people judging them."
This site is not like many of the other sites listed here.
Although I believe it to be just as important. The site has many forums for people to
reply to, read about, and meet other people through. The first step to recovery is to
understand that you have a problem and to talk about it. This site makes this easier by
introducing you to people with similar problems who understand. -OCC
