Food Wars

There are lots of challenges in life, but some of the most difficult ones involve the struggles we have with ourselves. A particularly common battlefield is found in our eating habits. We all fight with food at one time or another. Unfortunately, our food struggles often give us serious grief, affecting our health and emotional well-being.

“I need to lose a significant amount of weight. I’ve tried every diet that exists. I’ve visited all the top-notch dieticians and nutritionists. I’ve gone on Weight Watchers, and I’ve joined gyms. And I continue to put on weight, not lose it! I’m so discouraged! I don’t even want to go out of the house anymore.”

People commonly feel despair when losing their food battles.

“My friend encouraged me to join Overeaters Anonymous (OA). She’d lost 100 lbs there and managed to keep it off for five years already, so I was impressed! When I got there, I met so many people who’d finally won their food wars and were living healthy and happy lives. But somehow, it didn’t work for me. I just couldn’t do it.”
