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...

What is the craziest thing you have done to hide your obsession with food????

I dont think any of mine are that crazy - just the usual thing of hiding empy wrappers!!! or throwing food away in the bin outside so that I can stop binging on it??

I ate my daughters easter egg early last year - then felt guilty and spent a fortune trying to get another one the same!!!

Lying to everyone about how much/what I eat and going to different shops/take-aways to get the food to avoid the staff seeing me buying loads of food all the time. I think the whole thing with this addiction is pretty crazy. Eating when your not hungry is insane when you think about it, as all food cures is hunger, as we all know, tho we still do it!

For me it's the feeling of shame. I don't want others to know I am not in control of my food at all times. I hide wrappers. I have gotten anxious for people to leave the house so I could get to my stash. Crazy thinking. For the longest time I never knew what a hunger pang was. I am working on why I eat, all the negative childhood thoughts around food.
But there have been some great suggestions on this site and I am confident that I will be happy and be able to handle life without turning to food all the time.
My son put his name on some leftovers! I'm ashamed that I can't leave someone else's food alone. But I am getting better one day, one moment at a time.
