Disordered Eating

For many patients, overeating is a way of coping with stress – an unhealthy way that ultimately causes the additional physical and psychological stress of being overweight. You may benefit from seeing a counselor who can help you reflect on how you cope with stress and to brainstorm alternate coping behaviors.

There is a new group of Overeaters Anonymous in our area. There are several weekly meetings:

Saturday 9AM St. Paul’s Episcopal Church @ “Carriage House” in the corner of the parking lot behind the Church
Monday 7pm Mead Memorial United Methodist Church Route 29 South
Tuesday 7pm At the Kirk in Forest VA.

Contact Bev at 434-426-5853 or Mary P at 434-656-1472 for more info.
