This group is for women who are actively using the Overcoming Overeating non-diet tools presented in the book "When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies" (Hirschmann/Munter). The list member is less frequently using food as a primary source of self-soothing, and is ready to focus on the emotional triggers that lead to overeating, and the painful emotions and life experiences that brought us to overeating as our coping mechanism. Beginners are welcome to lurk or participate in the discussions, but should remain on the primary OO list to get support while they learn and practice the tools of recognizing stomach hunger and mouth hunger, legalizing, stocking up, food bags, mirror work, etc. Advanced list members are urged to also remain on the primary OO list to support, encourage and inspire those undertaking the difficult task of ending their overeating. The primary OO list cannot be found by searching Yahoo Groups as it is not listed in the Yahoo! Groups directory; however, a subscription link to the primary OO group can be found here: www.overcomingovereating.com/email.html.

Please note that the Advanced Overcoming Overeating list is restricted to women members only.

Please respond with answers to the short questionaire within one week of joining the list or your subscription request will be rejected. If you do not receive the questionaire, please send email to AdvancedOO-owner@yahoogroups.com and make me aware that you did not receive the pending letter.
