I can only speak for myself and say no. I've not needed to. I understand weight and how to loose it and I've gotten enough support so. I'm okay. CF and other people in our lives have been good for some of us. Have you personally tried Overeaters Anonymous? Did you find it helpful?

There are no meetings in my area now.
I am addicted to sugar. After days off of it, the cravings go away. The withdrawal is not easy but it's the only way for me. Binge food has to stay out of my house.
My husband died recently and I turned to sugar after years off of it and a large weight loss. I am trying to detox once again. I hate myself when I am eating without self control and know I am sinning.

Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to over step.

You all seem like precious ladies here. I would never attack anyone and I'm sorry to looked like that. To bad we can't hear each others tone of voice.

Oh no problem. I didn't feel bothered. I just wasn't sure what / who the topic was on. No problem at all.
Take care

How are we all doing?
(I'm back to square one... big surprise  ... but I'm dealing with it and at least now its summer and I can focus on eating habits without a buffet in front of me every day at work)

I was going to say join the club. Not sure if there is a club or if one should start a club.  Any way, you aren't alone in that regard.

It's sometimes a good thing that I'm annoyed at myself-- it can be a good motivator as long as I'm not pushing myself too hard. 
Yesterday was a good day-- stayed in around my calorie range, though I didn't exercise at all. Decided with the heat being as crazy as it is staying in front of the AC and playing computer games would be more entertaining.
This morning I learned I can briskly walk two miles in about # minutes-- which was really shocking for me (I'm not a person who normally walks so I was just seeing how much I could push myself since I want to try walking # miles every other day/every day). I also went to an OA online chat at #am (there's a group that meets every # hours around the clock to talk about over eating). I'm about half way through my calories for the day and half way with drinking enough water. What stinks is that I'm already over #% for my sugar and sodium intake! Now I need to try to find food that has no sugar and no sodium-- or hmm... maybe another day (I'm making my penne and vodka sauce tonight: a favorite in this household). I'm planning on attending another OA meeting this evening if I feel tempted to snack when I'm not hungry-- just being around people who go through the same things that I do and sharing my story seems to really help me. 
Yes, I understand. I should have explained better by saying, I'm not perfect either. Some days are better and some days are worse. The thing is, considering my past, I don't believe in diets. I try to eat things in moderation and live a balanced life style. Living a balanced life is something I will be forever working on. It does get better but I realize I will never be perfect and I will always have to pay attention to this aspect of my life.
