Elisabeth L. grew up in Lexington, Kentucky. She has a son, a daughter, and five delightful grandchildren. She and her husband live in Virginia, dividing their time between Arlington and Midlothian, a suburb Richmond.Elisabeth joined Overeaters Anonymous in 1976. Although her abstinence has not been perfect, for 25 years she has maintained a weight between 120 and 125 pounds.

One day at a time, she continues to be gratefully recovering.Biographical lnformationProgram Manager, Eating Disorders Program, Washington Hospital Center,Washington, DC 1984-1993Cultural Affairs Department, Organization of American States, 1980-1983 Teacher, Music and English, Greenwich, Connecticut 1959-1961B.A., Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio 1959
