    • About Me

      I have stayed home with my daughter for the last 10 years and am about to embark on what feels like a brand new phase of my life. Problem is, I am around 90 pounds overwieght and have concluded I am a food addict and will never be able to eat certain foods in moderation for a prolonged period of time. I am seeking support to once and for all accept this and get healthy!

      Wow, you don't know how much I appreciate your comments on my journal. I know that I have an addictive behavior. Thankfully my behaviors are only food and not other substances. I went to OA today and I heard someone say you have to give up faith in fear over faith in God. Wow. I eat to medicate feelings and bordem and stress. Turning to God and not to food is the answer. I hope your healthy eating plan is going well. The pizza and candy is behind you now.

    • Close Food Addiction

      Stuggled with weight most of my adult life. I am 5'8" weight has ranged from low of 118 up to over 300 pounds. I am currently in the 240 range. A healthy weight for me would be around 140-150.I have not accepted that I am a food addict as I have failed in every attempt to control my binging. Coming here to give and receive support.

      Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Working / Worked
      when I worked the program and got a sponser and worked the steps- OA worked for me. Hated the idea of never having another twinkie and eventually caved and stayed away- hoping to be able to eat in moderation foods which I know I can not. I have the HARDEST time accepting that some foods would be "forbidden". Need a new outlook.
