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...
As you said it is just getting started once you have a day under your belt then anthor it gets easier. I suggest posting your food intake here and being honest about it, prayer and keep on talking and reading it keeps us involved.
You can do this. Know that you are loved and specail by our Father in heaven. And he wants all good for you. Just today try to be kind to yourself and get outdoors and see life.
i totally relate to the all or nothing. when i am in the downward sprial, i won't do anything that is good for me. i won't even take my vitamins! seriously i won't even do that. and then as soon as it breaks i am like another person.
and i agree with Only - being kind to yourself is crucial. the things we say to ourselves are every bit as damaging as the actual binge. every negative or self-depricating thought you stop and replace with one that is more respectful and healthy is a step closer to taking better care of yourself. at least i find this is working for me.
i hope today is a little bit better for you Kakie
I lost 110 over three years, a few years back. I have gained 60 lbs of that back, as I've been on about a year long binge. But when I am in the zone, I am in the zone, and I can do so well. I know I have it in me.
The first step is lost on me, though. I've tried to get back on Atkins, which is such a panacea for me -- I feel so much better on it -- but I can't make it more than a few days.
I am so bloated and sleepy and tired all the time, and have constant cravings. I know if I didn't put that crap into my body, my cravings would drop significantly.
Maybe I should try fasting for a day.
