Hey room! My name is Reagan and I am a food addict. My disease constitutes overeating, bing eating and my disorders of choice - starvation and bulimia. This is all very new to me. My story is I'm also an alocholic. After being mind or mood altering free, by the grace of a higher power I did not think I had when I entered the fellowship that changed my life, for over a year more was revealed and I'm putting food inbetween me and God. It's always been a problem, I've just always been insane and ignorant to it. Even after family interventions about food, I blammed my alcoholism. I'm scared and new and trying to just take it one day, one hour, one meal at a time. This is probably a stupid question but can anyone help or relate? Thankfully my sponsor in AA is a food addict as well and is leading me through a book right now called, "From the First Bite." by Kay Sheepard.
I guess I'm a mix of emotions. Glad to be here, scared to death and fighting denial.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Thanks for sharing your story.
The great news is that you are coming to terms with your problem - which means you can fight. Can you imagine how freeing that'll be when there is nothing holding you back anymore? Have faith every day that you can beat this. One step at a time.
Welcome, I am in AA soon to be 18 yrs, but of the ed is so much harder. I can't seem to trust my HP to do for me w/ food what He has done w/ alcohol. I still use food and it definately separates me from God.
I am so proud of you for getting in recovery so young. I wasted a lot of years out there but by God's amazing grace I found it.
Again welcome and know there is hope.
