A Disease? "Doc! What do you mean - nothing! What? An incurable disease? Doc, you're kidding me! You're trying to scare me into stopping! What's that you say? You wish you were? Why are there tears in your eyes, Doc?" The Big Book, The Unbeliever, Page 196 For a very long time I scoffed at those who said my overweight was because I had a disease. Yes, my body had doubled in size ... but it was because I ate more calories than my body burned. My doctor said so ... he didn't say I had a disease. His "treatment" was to tell me to go on a diet and join a gym. The diet lasted for a few months and I believe I used the gym about six or seven times. I know now without a single doubt that I have a disease ... a serious one. I know that it is incurable and that I will have to live with this disease for the rest of my life. Dieting made me fat. Somewhere along the way I didn't "get it." One day at a time... I will resist thinking that being a compulsive eater is not a disease. I will aggressively and tenaciously do the footwork necessarily to combat it. A TRG Member
