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...
I have finally admitted to myself that I am a food addict. I can not stop eating foods that I know are not good for me. I have had success with diets and eating plans only to fall back into old habits and gain the weight back. Whoever said, " nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." is full of it!! I love food!! I love the texture, the taste and the calming effect it has when I find just the right combination.
I don't always binge or eat until I am miserable. I also know about nutrition and what I should be eating. In June I did the Whole30 totally compliant no cheating, but I think I could do that because I knew it was temporary. I knew at the end of it all I would inevitably go back to eating the way I was before. Did I feel good, yeah I felt pretty good. Unfortunately that good feeling doesn't feel good enough for me to stay eating that way.
I get mad sometimes. WHY do I have to eat absolutely perfect in order to lose weight?????? So I have been Googling all morning trying to find a Food Addicts support group online or on SKYPE. I need to be taught how to manage this addiction. Just telling me to stop eating junk food isn't going to do it. Any advice of where to get help for this would be appreciated.
I am so tired of being unhappy. I was at my Weight Watchers Lifetime goal weight for over 2 years and was so happy everyday. I have developed Hypothyroidism and Adrenal Fatigue and it feels impossible I will every be down to that weight again without starving myself.
Thanks to anyone who has taken the time to read this ridiculously long rant. Sorry!

I have never been a picky eater either so that doesn't help.
I wake up thinking about food; I go to sleep thinking about food; I go through the day thinking about when and what I will eat next. I am in a VICIOUS cycle.
I've even stole food from my housemates...things like peanut butter, trailmix, pizza, and chips.
SO.......tomorrow......I am going to go back to writing in my journal and re-prioritizing my goals.
I need constant advice and motivation.
I want to be honest with someone else in hopes that I will be hoenst with myself.
I want to eat ONLY raw foods....no preservatives, no flour, no added sugar, etc.
I took the online "shrink yourself" therapy session. It helped me a lot. Healing is always an ongoing process. It is a journey to overcoming your way of dealing with things. You are not going to get it right all the time. You are doing really good if you eat healthy 80% of the time.
