Karl shares honestly about his lonlieness while weighing 400 pounds. His OA program and his 170 pound weight loss transformed his life.  Listen in.

Excerpt:  “It is not in my nature to talk in front of people and share about what I’m so ashamed about.  Things I didn’t know other people dealt with…..My grandparents were Holocaust escapees so there was always this feeling that nothing was enough and things had to look good on the outside.”  

Warning – strong language used in this talk.

“The day I figured out I could cross my legs I did a happy dance!”
For Melody the real gifts of the program is real relationships, real friends and a relationship with a Higher Power.  She’s been through Weight Watchers ten times and finally found recovery in OA.
She lost 140 pounds and gained a ½ inch in height – her spine had been compressed with all the weight!
