Yesterday I promised to post some information on how to find help for eating disorder or compulsive overeating. I found a few addresses from when I was taking an Eating Disorder Class at Saddleback College. However, the majority of the places I've got are all local to Orange County, California. I will post them here, plus some websites that might help you. I just want to make clear I have not tried these organizations, nor I am choosing them over any other, I just want to give you a jump start if you decide this is what you need. In future posts I will also recommend some books or foods that are tasty and low calorie, books and audio books that might help, wii games and exercise dvd's that might make exercise fun.
Okay, so let's get started:
