Showing results for "Twelve" in Eating Disorders

The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous, Second Edition is OA’s keystone book—created specifically as a study of the OA 12-step recovery program. If you think you may have a compulsive food behavior—including but not limited to compulsive eating, undereating, food addiction, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, overexercising, and purging—give yourself the chance of recovery. Listen how, through working the 12 steps and studying the 12 traditions, OA members have found “physical, emotional, and spiritual healing".

We don't ask you to analyze your painful past experiences or to examine any personality "flaws" that may have led to your bulimia, as there is no scientific evidence supporting the idea that resolving underlying psychological problems leads to recovery (Walsh & Cameron, 2005). Instead, we give you clear, practical steps to remove your primal hunger, stop bingeing and purging, relearn normal eating, and overcome bulimia for life. You can recover. There is a way.

At the core of any addiction, we feel empty and disconnected from our spiritual source and try to fill it with food, alcohol, substances, staying busy, love, money, or anything else we can think of. We are all looking to fill this hunger and satisfy our craving to have a meaningful connection with ourselves and to the divine. Adding these affirmations to your recovery toolbox can help uplift your spirit and direct your thoughts in a way to help you feel better.

Congratulations on beginning your life changing journey! This is not a fad diet plan or a plan with empty promises. Your choice to follow this plan is at your own risk. This is my story–it worked for me, and it may also work for you! Results may vary.

If you have self-love then you can have the foundation of all love that will lead to self-improvement and peace of mind. Do you have self-love deficit? Or maybe like many of us you are not aware of it. What is self-love? It is less about you buying the car you dreamed of or new clothes or getting new hair or a makeover, and it is more about you appreciating yourself for who you are physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Anorexie, Bulimie und psychogene Adipositas verstehen und behandeln. Ca. 70 Prozent aller Frauen sind unzufrieden mit ihrem Körper und wollen abnehmen. Insbesondere Frauen haben ausgelöst durch gesellschaftliche Normenorientierung Probleme mit ihrem Körper und unterwerfen sich der Tyrannei der Waage, wobei Männer andererseits vor allem bei der psychogenen Fettsucht führen. Essstörungen können als missglückter Problemlösungsversuch angesehen werden, das eigene Leben in den Griff zu bekommen und sich emotionale Unabhängigkeit zu beweisen und den eigenen Selbstwert zu regulieren.
