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 am in the super morbidly obese category. I wait until the house is empty of people and then I order enough food for 2 to 4 people and eat it all. I keep food hidden from other family members. The first thing I think about is eating when I wake up and I get excited when I think of my next meal (sometimes while I'm eating). I plan times when I can be alone with food. I eat until my stomach hurts and sometimes I stay like that all day..eating more and more.
I know I'm addicted. I feel like I don't have any control over myself. When I try to diet..all I think about all day is eating. It makes me crazy. I have even over ate diet food when I couldn't take it anymore. I don't know how to stop this. Everyone can see I'm fat, but nobody knows the struggle I have on a daily basis. I don't even want to tell my therapist because I'm afraid she will put me in the hospital and keep me from the food.
I guess this is my confession. I have gone to OA meetings before, but even there I never admitted it to anyone. I guess I was in denial. I have read some of the posts on here and seen several people like me. I guess I just don't want to be alone anymore with this beast.

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...
i remember in the beginning, when i realized things couldn't go on the way they were. i wanted IT to be different. i wanted IT to change. had to learn it doesn't work that way. I had to change.
in 'you can heal your life' Louise Hayes suggests that in the beginning when you don't know how to change, and part of you is still resistant to change, the best place to start is by telling yourself over and over and over, that you are WILLING to change. it opens the door. and we believe what we tell ourselves. at least eventually we do. it takes time.
good luck firestar - i hope you find posts like Missy's encouraging. there are lots of us here who have made a lot of improvements and are way healthier than we were.
it can be done!!!!
We're not really even in the minority, I don't think. I think there are more people like us than we'll ever know. People who feel like hell, people who struggle with self-trust and self-hatred.
Stay on this site! We need you!! We need your voice!
It seems my whole day is planning my eating times, what I'll eat, how much & where. I binge 3 times a day & my stomach hurts so much I cannot fit anymore in. I feel like me stomach is always distended. I also get a buzz & an adrenalin rush as I planj & think about the food. I know exactly what you are going through.
Write & talk if you need to,
love Dags.
