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...

Thats always been my attitude and I know its a bad one. Its not just regarding food, its with friendships too among other things. Say for instance if I was in sales and tried selling a friend something that declined my offer, I would end up declining the friendship. But as for food that is my attitude too and its a bad one. In order for you to stop binging on treats you have to basically stop and DEPRIVE yourself from eating those treats. If you binge on "something sinful" then you feel like shit after. If you deprive yourself and use up energy on staying away from what you are craving, it leaves you feeling like shit too.. you can't win either way. The best case scenario would be to eat a treat in moderation to prevent the binge and to prevent the deprivation, but that is almost impossible for me to do. And I know I am not the only one here. I am not the only one who has that "all or nothing" type of thinking. What do you do about it?

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...
Right now I stick with leaving giant notes for myself about eating the meals I'm supposed to. Or leaving a can of soup out on the counter. That way I don't have the reason to give my husband the fateful call to bring home fast food.
But, yeah.....I'm trying. If you figure something out, you let me know too, huh?
Missy - i get that you aren't strong enough yet to let go of bingeing - i guess the way to keep moving forward, is to figure out how you can get stronger - what is taking your power? what is zapping your strength?
I've found that if I stay away from sugar specifically, I'm more in control of what I eat. But deep down, I'm still a binge eater. Always will be.
