ONE BITE FELLOWSHIP | Before You Send Us E-Mail...

Before You Send Us E-Mail...

Honestly, we do look forward to receiving e-mail from those who visit our website! However, since we receive a certain amount of correspondence that asks for information we can not provide or advice that we are not qualified to offer, we request that you take the time to carefully read all of the information below before you attempt to contact us.

Please remember that the One Bite Fellowship's primary purpose is to share our recovery from food addiction with male food addicts. Additionally, we are willing to share experience, strength and hope with friends and family members of male food addicts. What about women who struggle with food addiction? We request that women consult other eating disorder websites, support groups or health care/mental health professionals that address their concerns.
Be very specific when you ask us questions or request information. General requests like "Help me!" or incomplete requests like "Send me information" don't give us much to work with. So please express your request(s) in complete, coherent sentences.
Please use the subject line of your message.
OBF never offers advice that should ONLY come from a medical or mental heath professional! This means, among other things, that we never prescribe food plans or offer any sort of nutritional guidance.
We do not claim to have crisis counseling skills. If you in a crisis situation we urge you to contact a professional for medical or mental health advice. We've found that face-to-face contact, rather than online support, is always best when needing help in a time of crisis.
It may take us 48 hours to respond to your e-mail message, so please do not count on for an "immediate" response. Thanks in advance for being patient!
We are not available to assist students who are doing research on men who struggle with eating disorders.

In case you think that the information presented above makes us seem "unkind" or "uncaring", rest assured that nothing could be farther from the truth. We do care about about the well-being of men who struggle with food addiction!

At the same time, part of our recovery process involves the establishment and maintenance of a set of clearly defined, healthy boundaries (boundaries with food as well as boundaries in all other areas of our life). Therefore we have worked hard at attempting to recognize both our strengths and limitations. We've found much wisdom in the saying, "Do few things, but do them well." As addicts we have also found much wisdom in the admonition that it is our job to "Carry the message, but not the addict."

Whew! :-)
