Beyond Diets: Embracing Spiritual Fitness in OA

How cool is it that recovery is not a diet and yet, thanks to the program, I'm successful at losing weight and I'm happy. Haha, I love oa.
Ever felt trapped in the endless cycle of dieting, only to see the weight come back again and again? In this episode of 'Promise of Recovery', Lauren Lansrud, an OA member, shares her raw and relatable journey through food addiction. Lauren opens up about how she once believed diets were the answer to her weight struggles, but found herself back at square one every time. It wasn't until she discovered Overeaters Anonymous (OA) that things began to change.
Through OA meetings, she found a supportive community that helped her realize that true recovery wasn't about dieting but about achieving spiritual fitness and trusting a higher power. Lauren's story is a testament to the power of community and spiritual growth in overcoming food addiction. She candidly discusses how embracing the principles of OA led her to a place where abstinence was not just possible, but sustainable.
Her journey is filled with moments of revelation and support that anyone struggling with food addiction can relate to. If you're tired of the dieting hamster wheel and seeking a deeper solution, this episode offers hope and practical insights into finding peace with food and yourself.
