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 created a new group and hope it will help others seeking support! Please read it and share with others who may need help in this area:
Topic, Sugar Abstinance
Today was Day 1 of my sugar abstinance. After eliminating cane sugar several months ago, I had been dabbling in coconut-sugar desserts...I found myself back to increasing quantities rather quickly. I also have been craving MORE sugar. And, a sugar- induced yeast infection has started along with itchy skin all over my body! These same symptoms occurred to help me realize my allergy to alcohol, so I am thankful for the body's clear direction. I am THANKFUL for it, but NOT HAPPY with having to AVOID SUGAR!!! And my doctor says I should also be careful of too much Stevia as it can cause sugar cravings. Thought I'd see if some other friends could use support on this journey! Thanks for reading

I am divorced since august 2015.After my divorce i developed a drinking problem.Now I am a little over 3 months sober and have been going to all female AA meetings straight from work 3 times a week over the past 2 months. I enjoy the meetings and I feel like I do get something out of them, so I keep coming back, but I have always struggled with all of the hugging and touching by one woman that...

That's the title of the memoir I'm writing about the next eighteen months. Seriously. In 18 months, I'll be 60 years old. I think of myself as someone who's battled food addiction all her life, but the reality of it is that with a few short-lived exceptions, I'm actually someone who's mostly just given in to her food addictions her whole life. I've thought about battling it, I've belittled...
I've done elimination SLOWLY at first, started dabbling in gluten free several years ago. Our family has owned an ice-cream shop for 20 years so I've lived in the extremes with sugar long enough to have serious intestinal damage. I'd enjoy hearing more about your journey! I've been to just a few OA meetings and haven't encountered the grey sheet...
Also in AA just over a year.
Seen "sugar" and had to check it out. I too, am a sugar fanatic. I LOVE, LOVE. LOVE chocolate and sweets and cannot get enough. The more I eat the more I want. I would be happiest if I could eat chocolate and sweets all day long. But my body is starting to tell me otherwise. For years now I get some really bad breakouts (as I call them) from eating too much chocolate or sweets. They are itchy and painful welts/hives. I will scratch them until they bleed and still continue to scratch. I practically live on Benadryl anymore. And yet I cry when I cant have something sweet. And they only way I can get the breakouts to go away is cut out the sweets totally.
Does anyone have any suggestions for help on how to give up eating my most favorite foods?
Please, if anyone had any tips, I am totally open to suggestions. I joined the site, and this group, hoping to make a real change for myself.
