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 had an epiphany today. I had to go to Sam's Club, and you know how they have those samples of things. I am usually okay there because most of them have meat. But they had these oilive oil, garlic, parmesian potato chips. I just had to have some. Then I had to buy a bag of them. I actually went out to my car and had some. But I was good there to a point. I only had one "serving" which I will record on my food diary. I actually counted out 12 potato chips (minus the three I had in the sample). But while I was in potato chip extasy, I was wondering how long? How long will I have to count out every potato chip? I mean absolutely no one else I know does that. They just grab a handful and let it go at that. Then the realization hit me. Forever. I will always have to count them. I can't just grab a handful. Ever. Just like an alchoholic can never have just one drink. The rest of the bag is sitting in the closet calling to me, but I refuse to listen. And I am pretty sure I can count on the rest of the family to finish them when they get home.

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...
I think you can hope to approach normality...in other words, to improve, but to have a completely normal relationship with food sometime in the future, I don't know.
I am new to this site, but all your comments sound very familiar to me, because I think them often as well!. Its strange because I seem to realise what triggers my binges, and what has caused my issues with food, but at the same time i feel i have no control to stop it. I am also the type of person who often lends a shoulder to others and gives support and advice to their problems, so i feel very silly that i cannot solve my own.
