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.
