Food Addiction Support Group

An individual suffering from a food addiction disorder frequently experiences episodes of uncontrolled eating, or binging, during which they may feel frenzied or out of control. They will eat much more quickly than is normal, and continue to eat even past the point of being uncomfortably full. Binging in this way is generally followed by a period of intense guilt feelings...

dose this work?
i have had an idea of instead of not binging all together making a list of all the foods i binge on and onle eating one of them when i binge. there for making it a lot less painfull and laso possible intime easyer to stop because i only have one thing to give up.
just wondered if any one else had tried this, or is willing to give it a go with me?

i have tried something sortof like this. in order to reduce the harmfullness of the binge, i made a deal with myself that i would only binge on cereal and milk or popcorn. and i kept both on hand. i found it helped. i was still 'allowing' myself the binge but i wasn't consuming all the fat and sugar that i usually ate.

i think this kind of approach (harm reduction)can work for those who aren't ready to give up binge eating all together, but want to take some kind of action. let's call it a baby step in the right direction.

good luck Snow White - if you try it, let us know how it goes.
