Strategies for Managing Cravings

Create a Sense of Belonging

Whether it’s an Overeaters Anonymous meeting, Weight Watchers, or a neighborhood church, mosque, temple, or synagogue, one powerful driver of positive, healing behaviors is a sense that you belong somewhere, that there is a place for you. Yes, online or virtual communities can be helpful, but in my experience there is no substitute for shoe leather. Get out of the house, get to one of these community gatherings, and participate, participate, participate. Remember that in the religion studies noted previously, it was involvement and participation that made a difference. Similar studies of Twelve Step approaches confirm that mere attendance, while useful, is not nearly as powerful as active participation. Some research does support the theory that active involvement in a program predicts success more than which particular group you join.90
