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...

Can't Stop

I had been doing so good with my binging. Once the week of Thanksgiving rolled around it has been uncontrollable. I literally can't stop eating, and I don't know what to do. I am home a lot because I just graduated from college and am looking for a job, I feel like all I have to do is eat. How can I stop this binge?

When I have a lot of time on my hands it's tough for me too. The place where I work is going to be closed between Christmas and New Years so I'm trying to find some things to keep me busy. I ended up spending Thanksgiving alone because I didn't want to be around all that food. I knew I wouldn't be able to resist. What's your degree in?

When I have free time I have a lot of trouble with overeating as well. I try to do things that keep my busy. For instance I am hope right now and surrounded by junk food but I am on here hoping to type away my temptations. I also took up crocheting to keep my hands busy when I have free time.
Try to break out of the binging cycle slowly. Whenever I have a relapse the first few days when I get "back on the wagon" I don't count calories or expect too much of myself. I just try not to eat emotionally and uncontrolably. I hope this helps!!

Going to the gym helps me because it makes me feel like I'm taking control and I feel less like binging. Plus coworkers are starting to see the changes in my body which is a great motivator.
