A person can never be too overweight, too underweight, or too normal in weight to be an OA member. ~ The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous (Kindle Location 1404).

Welcome to Overeaters Anonymous.
Welcome home! Yes, home.
Come and feel it, meet us,
hear us, watch us, talk to us.
You’re home. If you’ve experienced
the pain, the insanity, the discomfort,
the unbreakable habit of compulsive eating
then you’re home. The only requirement is easy.
Want to stop. That’s all. Surgery,
bulimia, anorexia, morbid obesity,
a single food … where the ad is right
if it says you can’t stop with one
but more than right because one is too much
and a thousand too few.
You’ll hear suggestions for food plans,
urging to work the steps, suggestions of tools,
offers of sponsors…but turn them down
and you’re still welcome. One requirement,
that’s all. Listen at the meeting
and you’ll hear what it is.
The only requirement
for OA membership
is a desire
to stop eating compulsively.
