There are several OA (Overeaters Anonymous) group meetings in and around The Villages area. I believe I saw them listed in the rec news, but you can also locate them by searching their website. It is a 12 step program similar to AA and NA with lots of support from others who understand the situation and the process. Many psychologists recommend programs like this for people who have failed with other weight loss methods. I hope your friend seeks help, but only he/she can make that decision. It's so kind of you to care.
