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 do wish I was one of thse fortunate people who you hear say "oh I just forgot to eat lunch". Believe me, I could forget my own name, my bank card details, my address, but I could NEVER forget to eat dammit! :)

I know what you mean, my mind is so focused on the subject of food that it makes it an impossibility to forget!!! I have to focus so hard not to eat, maybe thats the problem!!!

I have not had food or money or opportunity to eat. But I have never ever ever "forgotten" to eat. You gotta be a special kind of stupid to "forget" to eat. Sorry, one of my pet peeves.

well, Marah, I guess I am one of those "stupid people" who forget to eat.
yes, its from time to time but I use that because of an eating disorder..
Its an excuse so I dont worry people..
so people wont offer me food, worry, or try to get me to talk about food.
Also a bunch of people with eating disorders are addicted to food as well
Like me, I eat and eat and eat and eat even when I am not hungry.
I will eat until I puke.
weigh myself.
cry.
"then forget to eat for a few days"
that excuse gets you no where and believe me Mel1509 the excuse doesnt even work that well haha

Forget to eat....never once in my life! The crazy thing is that if there were some magic solution to cause me to forget to eat, I would definitely try it. Even though it would obviously mess with my brain, I still think I would do it.
