Mary Beth, member since 1973, identifies as a compulsive overeater, relapser, and century person. Mary Beth’s share from the Tuesday evening Century Meeting includes the following themes: lowest & highest weights • in the rooms since the fall of 1973 • addictive foods • compulsive couple (work-oholism & overeating) • discovering OA thru a newspaper • 1st OA meeting • 1st sponsor • goal weight & cockiness (beware of the pedestal) • leaving OA & gaining back all weight • childhood & food • working the H.O.W. program • gratitude & prayer practice • god’s in charge • hip replacement • everything I go through is a lesson (fears) • cunning, baffling, powerful, & patient (the disease is still there) • perseverance
A century person is an individual who has lost or needs to lose 100 pounds or more.
