Overeaters Anonymous Convention Comes To Jax

Overeaters Anonymous

Compulsive overeating and food addiction is a national concern and an increasingly local problem, impacting the lives of thousands in our community.

As obesity and weight-related disease reaches epidemic levels in the United States, the group Overeaters Anonymous is sending a message: there is a solution.

The North Florida chapter of Overeaters Anonymous is sponsoring a convention in downtown Jacksonville this weekend. OA spokeswomen "Kimberly," "Ethel," and "Isabel" joined Melissa Ross for a preview.
