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.

Food obsession workbook

Good morning! I am at the end of my rope with this crazy eating and am getting very desperate.

In Chapters yesterday, I found a workbook entitled "The Appetite Awareness Workbook--how to listen to your body & overcome bingeing, overeating, & obsession with food" by Linda @. Craighead, PH.D. I'm so excited to get busy on it....as soon as I can put the chips away.

Have any of YOU tried this workbook, if so, what do you think, and did it help?

It sounds like a great book. I am going to the bookstore to buy it. Thanks for the title.
I definitely am food obsessed. I, also, binge late in the night. I am in counseling; however, I am still dealing with the compulsion to overeat. I will let you know what I think of the workbook.

I bought the workbook. It has some good ideas in it. You monitor how hungry you feel when you start eating and when you finish eating. I recently lost 20 lbs at Weight Watchers;however, I have gained 15 of it back. I hope this new idea of appetite control will help me.

Chapter's is a very large bookstore chain. I thought it was an American chain. You don't have it in VA?

Chapters is both in the US and Canada. It is owned by Indigo so Indigo could also be another place to look for it. However, what's in one of those places is probably in Borders and Barnes & Nobles too, plus your friendly Amazon.com :) Although if you want to buy books online for cheap I recommend AbeBooks.com

Just had to chuck in my 2 cents about book shopping here, sry! Hope it helps in some small way in terms of where to look.

    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...
