According to the Overeaters Anonymous Web site, "Worldwide meetings and other tools provide a fellowship of experience, strength and hope where members respect one another's anonymity. It is a self-supporting organization that works through member contributions and charges no dues or fees.
Overeaters Anonymous is not just about weight loss, gain or maintenance, nor obesity or diets. It addresses physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. It is not a religious organization and does not promote any particular diet. If you want to stop your compulsive overeating, welcome to Overeaters Anonymous."
