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've been finding that during the day it's getting a little easier to fight off the urge to binge eat and I can use a lot of good strategies to help me get through it. I'm finding that it's after about 7:00pm that I'm having a really hard time to keep myself from eating. I never used to be like this, and it never was a problem when I lived at home. I'm finding that dorm life is not helpful for avoiding food. What keeps getting me is hanging out at night and everyone gets pizza, or we have waffle night in our dorm, or other misc. events revolving around food. Part of me feels like I have to participate because I don't want to miss out on the fun bonding time with my friends, but then this also leads to me not wanting to miss the oppertunity to eat. Yesterday night, for example, I was doing fine until my roommate brought a bunch of people over who started eating everything in our room. I tried to hold off as long as I could, but it wasn't long until I started eating tons of chips, then decided to make myself a peanut-butter sandwich. Then I thought if I left the room I could avoid food. I went to my friend's room, who were also making PB&Js, which I then ate, neglecting the fact that I was not hungry at all.
In short, does anyone have any advice on how to work around this or suggestions they've used on how to help this problem? I feel like this is becoming one of my biggest obsticles in trying to kick my bad habits.

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 distraction is the major one, but at the moment with exams I'm finding that very difficult because really, the best kind of distraction is doing something you actually enjoy!
Good luck.
