Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 sorry Virgina Do not know Blessings R All Life Lifters Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone could help me locate a very old plan that was in Overeaters Anonymous. I'm dating myself here because they no longer recommend any diet and haven't for years. When I went back in 1976 & 1977 they had 3 basic diet plans. One was on a Grey card, one on an orange card and there was another one but I don't remember what it was. After being on this for a while I got to where I could eat some things that now will give me indigestion and did back then until I stayed on the plan. The one I was on was the orange card. I think they were calorie ranges like the Grey was 1,000 and the orange was 1,200 etc. but I'm not for sure. They had listed on the front the amount at each meal to have. Like pick one selection from this list. It restricted a lot of foods but I found this one worked for me until I got married and tried to change to the diabetic food plan for my hubby. After that I could never get back to it and eventually put it in a rummage sale with a lot of other diet(s) plans. In hind sight I think it had more to do with choosing from the lists and not allowing certain foods that I don't tolerate well. I can only remember one meal that I fixed with it and not even all of it. I had ham, green beans and that is all I remember. I do remember the portion control was also a key and I got to eating a lot more vegetables at the time. I also had more salads and would tear up a head of lettuce and fix a weeks worth of toppings to go with it but stored them seperately. Can anyone help me??? I sure would appreciate it if you could. ;-) Virginia Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsover things are honest, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi, Virginia - I'll ask my mom. She and I attended OA during those years (or, I guess, shortly after) and I remember those cards. I'll see if by chance she still has them. I know I don't.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi my sweet Virginia, If I wasn't so sick with the flu I would go on a searching frenzy. But I did write an email to OA themselves explaining what I'm looking for... pray we get a response. Also on Ebay I found an OA book from the year 1980; I wrote the seller asking if they could check the book and I explained what we're looking for. hope you are dealing well my dear friend. Love, Wanda. > > Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone could help me > locate a very old plan that was in Overeaters > Anonymous.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi Virginia, Going by the reply's, it looks like you may find what you are looking for. I'll ask my other list friends if anyone there may have the info. Wanda, so sorry to hear that you are sick. Sending my prayers that you get better fast! Karma, it seems that I missed your birthday. Hope it was wonderful! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi Connie, Thanks for the information. I tried the link but it wouldn't let me in. I also tried to cut and paste it to no avail. I printed off your reply so I can try at a later time. It could be just down for repairs.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Oh, Wanda, I'm sorry to hear that you are ill. I'll be lifting you up in prayer, my friend. Thank you for writing to O.A. I contacted them myself some time ago and was told that they didn't even know about the plans and were adamant that they don't do that. Well, I know they did although it was long ago. Anyway, I hope you have a more positive response than I was able to get. I know it seems silly but I feel that if I could get that plan again I could get back into control over my eating and address the other problems through Life Lift. Thank you for checking on E-Bay. I hope it yields something good. I look forward to hearing from you about the results. However, I would prefer that you would rest and get feeling better before taking on any more things to do. Your precious.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hi Virginia, I sure hope someone can remember this so we can get it to you! So far on the OA email I received an 'out of office'. Ebay person has not responded to me yet either. But we'll find you your info; it has to be out there. I'm finding it quite difficult to sleep tonight but better go try again; as I have to be up at the crack of dawn. Love to you! Wanda > > > > > > Hi everyone.
