Anorexics and Bulimics Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals whose primary purpose is to find and maintain recovery in our eating practices, and to help others gain recovery. ABA is not allied or affiliated with any other 12-step fellowship or organization. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop unhealthy eating practices.  For further information on ABA or face-to-face meetings in your area please consult their website at www.aba12steps.org.

Eating Disorders Anonymous (EDA)

EDA is a fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problems and help others to recover from their eating disorders. People can and do fully recover from having an eating disorder. In EDA, we help one another identify and claim milestones of recovery.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to recover from an eating disorder. There are no dues or fees for EDA membership. We are self-supporting through our own contributions. EDA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution. EDA does not wish to engage in any controversy. We neither endorse nor oppose any causes.

Our primary purpose is to recover from our eating disorders and to carry this message of recovery to others with eating disorders. In EDA, we try to focus on the solution, not the problem. Solutions have to do with recognizing life choices and making them responsibly. Diets and weight management techniques do not solve our thinking problems. EDA endorses sound nutrition and discourages any form of rigidity around food. ** Balance – not abstinence -- is our goal. **

Eating Disorder Center of Denver Introduces New Binge Eating Support Group

In January, the Eating Disorder Center of Denver (EDCD) introduced a Binge Eating program to the Rocky Mountain area. Because of the overwhelming response we have had to our Binge Eating program, the Eating Disorder Center of Denver is proud to announce the arrival of our Outpatient Binge Eating Disorder support group.  Currently in our fifth cycle of patients, this support group will complement our BED treatment program; however, anyone is invited to attend. We have heard from several individuals who were interested in a Binge Eating Support Group, and to meet the needs of the community, the group has been initiated.

This group will be a process-oriented group based on Irvin D. Yalom’s Curative Factors. The group will meet weekly on Tuesday nights from 6-7:30pm at the Eating Disorder Center of Denver. Cost for the group is $20.

 For additional information regarding this support group or other outpatient groups please call, 303-771-0861, visit www.edcdenver.com.

Intuitive Eating: Make Peace with Food

A 12-Week Group to Address Emotional Eating Faciliated by: Rachel Eddins, M.Ed., LPC, CGP

If you have ever struggled with the ups and downs of dieting, waged "diet-war" on your body, or have lost touch with true hunger and fullness, it is time to listen to your body and learn how to eat intuitively. Individuals with emotional eating issues can learn to create a healthy relationship with their food, mind, and body by ditching the diet mentality, tuning in to body cues, and honoring emotions without using food.

The group curriculum will be based directly on the work of Evelyn Tribole, M.S., R.D. and Elyse Resch M.S., R.D., F.A.D.A and will cover the 10 core principals described in their book, Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program that Works. 

Groups start in September, February and June, Wednesdays 11:45-1pm and Thursdays 5:30-6:45pm, and last 12 weeks. Cost: $50 per session. Ongoing emotional eating support groups are also available.

For more information, please call (832) 338-6863
