Food Addiction Support Group

I've been there before many times. Its hard to get control but I promise you it is possible. You just have to keep trying! Do you speak to a therapist?

I am there, and totally understand. The only thing we can do is look for support to get through the rough patches. I am hear if you need me!

I here you loud and clear!
I can't stop binging, only I can't purge though, so my weight is REALLY rocketing up! People were afraid for my lilfe because my weight was so low from anorexia only a few months ago, but now my ultimate fear has happened and I have lost control completely and I am consuming thousands and thousands of calories each day, stealing food from my housemates and eating in secret, only its not so secret because my weight is going up and up and up. I wanted to get well from anorexia but I didn't want this to happen. This is horrible.
I feel your pain, so even though this is excruciating and frightening, you can know youare not alone because I am going through the same thing. I'm sure there must be a way out of this. xx

After years of feeling lost, trying diets, starvation, diet pills, throwing up, overexcercising- I've finally realized that when I binge, it's not because I love food. It's cuz at that moment I hate myself.

Miss Cheek, you love food for the way it nourishes you and gives you the energy you need to be strong and healthy. Unfortunately, those of us who struggle have used food to numb ourselves of negative feelings and emotions, and abuse food and not use it for its original purpose. Why we choose to punish ourselves in this way (or punish ourselves altogether) is obviously a complicated topic, but what matters is for us to make a truce with food. No more fighting. We will peacefully co-exist. That's the only way to do it. Otherwise everytime I am in the same room as a bagel, it will be like being in the same room as an ex-- yeah I could look ok, but my mind is zoned in one thing.

Stay strong and use the supports as much as you can. This journey is long winding but you can indeed learn to feel more comfortable in your own skin and not feel like you need to hide behind food.

Yes, the eating is because of emotions going on at that moment. It is difficult to pin-point what is going on at that particular moment though. It used to be because I didn't do very much during the day. Now I am super busy, like that, and was still binging in this last month. I am not sure how to pin-point the emotions, then what to do about them in that instant in time so I don't eat when I am alone. Trust me, where I am living, I am ALONE much of the time. It is horrible also to go through through this, and not know what to do. I feel like I sort of have the strength to get through. I definitely want to get healthy. So that is motivation.
