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...
Of course the whole problem behind binging is that you feel empty both physically and mentally. But my stomach is now so used to random inputs of tons and tons of food/calories when I try to not binge and restrict my eating I get dizzy, have bad hunger pains, etc. I know of course if I am going to get back to healthy I have to deal with these feelings a little bit. But does anyone know of any foods that feel really filling/ help to get rid of at least the dizziness? Also this might be a crazy thing to ask but does anyone else get these feelings or is it just me mentally screwing with myself? (blushes)

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...
baby carrots
apples
beans
fibre cereals
yogurt
nuts
hot drinks (coffee, tea, hot cocoa)
What you are saying is concerning, though. That you want to eat just enough to get rid of the dizziness? That's the other half of food addiction - avoiding food so severely that it becomes your every waking thought.
Plus, it just leads to more binging - if you're just eating enough to make sure you don't feel hunger. That's just another form of restricting. Your body will still be searching out food and nutrients.
Be careful. And try to eat for health and nutrition, not for calories and bare minimum. (And I do understand, sometimes you need to do what you need to do to stop a binge cycle)
