A new group to help those who struggle with food addiction is meeting in DeWitt County.

Overeaters Anonymous is a group aimed at helping those who have issues with food consumption. The group is led by Robert Garcia who admits this is something personal for him but he also aims to help others through his struggle.

If you enjoy food but are not sure it is an addiction or maybe you suspect food addiction is something you battle but are not sure, Garcia explains there are several things to look out for in your eating habits.

Garcia says those with food addiction often deal with obesity and physical health challenges. Those can lead to psychological and emotional health issues.

Overeaters Anonymous meets on Sunday afternoons at Anytime Fitness in Clinton.
