"If we want to live free of the killing disease of compulsive eating, we accept help without reservation from a power greater than ourselves." -The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous, P. 19.
Is it extreme to call this a killing disease? This quote from Overeaters Anonymous implies that it is not. We know that overeating and obesity can lead to all kinds of diseases such as Diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, cancer, fatty liver disease and more. As Christians, we rely on the God of the Bible to help us overcome overeating. Praying daily for strength and willingness to stop overeating is key.
