The author's induction into the cult of Overeaters Anonymous is lived out through the pages of her painful experience. Overeaters Anonymous members are not trained people, just other compulsive overeaters. The book resonates with the pain of someone who is in need of something other than a weak twelve step group and its ineffectual interactions. Miss Lerner is very fortunate to have gotten out of this group unscathed and to have eventually gotten the proper help that she needed in spite of having a disreputable psychiatrist. This book is a must read for those that have an addiction to any kind of foods or those even considering an unmonitored support group.
