I have been pretty frusturated recently, because I feel like I'm trying to eat right all by myself. I eat from a book called EAT TO LIVE …

About Me
I write darkly funny plays. I work at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. I am very, very sensitive to food. I get moody when I don't eat right. I have done extensive reading about nutrition, including the book EAT TO LIVE, by Dr. Joel Furhman, which is what I base my daily meals and snacks on. I love movies and some people. I have a girlfriend who is a little crazy and it is wonderful to have a girlfriend after not having one for so long. I am mostly happy and fullfilled.

Hi there, i just wanted to welcome you to the group. i ready your journal and i agree with you in the food thing. I have a truly loving relationship with food.... I LOVE IT!!! Lol. and it loves to be loved. Since becoming diabetic i've had to approach food totally differently and have had to do a lot of research on the subject of proper nutrition and food combinations to sustain your body. i think you and i could have some good advice for each other... hey i'm always looking for a buddy to support and they could support me. If you'd like, drop me a line to let me know if you're interested. I can really dish it out... the advice and support, i mean. Take care, hugs and kisses, Deb :o)

Support Groups
Close Healthy Eating
I am here because I have tried Overeaters Anonymous and they don't have what I am looking for, which is an understanding of nutrition and people who support each other in the face of so much misinformation regarding what's healthy and the relentless social pressure to eat in an unhealthy way.
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I've been exercising all year at a gym but it did little or nothing until I started following the book EAT TO LIVE. At the gym, I usually do the bike or the eliptical machine. It works, in the sense that I feel more alert and I am losing weight. But I have to take care not to obsess over weight loss.
Close Eating Disorders
I am a compulsive overeater who can find very few if any people to relate to in Overeaters Anonymous. I'm hoping to either find some people in that community who actually care about nutritional excellence, and not just about not binging. I have been pretty desperate for support. It's very hard to do this on your own.
Treatments
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Not Working
- From what I can gather, the people in Overeater's Anonymous by and large, do not share my interest in nutritional excellence. They seem to be concerned with portion control. Controlling the portions of low nutrient foods and limiting myself to three meals a day is not something that worked for me. Additionally, it is unhealthy and can precipitate binges because you're not being properly fed.
