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 have an over-eating disorder. I can't stop myself from eating, you could chain the fridge closed and I'd either find a way in or find someone elses refrigerator. I've tried not buying food but now I'm married and I kindof have to feed spouse. I used to use diet pills like xenadrine, or ones from late night infomertials, tried excercise, works but now I'm too busy.I've tried illegal drugs, unfortunately, and that worked but it is sooo unhealthy and i hate it, it's disgusting to me and I feel so low for ever thinking THAT was a way out.I used to be bulimic for a while andI used to use laxatives alot. I have 3 month old daughter and full time job working 40+ hrs weekly. I binge when no one is around and just overeat when hubby is around. I know he loves me but how much longer is he gonna love me if I don't even love myself. I don't know how to stop myself from over-eating. I understand the philosophy of Eat to live don't live to eat, but I just can't DO it!

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...
Do you talk to him about it?
I think the reason i have such an addiction to food is because its always there, unlike my family+friends.
I'm trying to get up the courage to talk to my partner about it without just turning into an emotional mess, but maybe you could consider talking to your partner about it and try to get some support from him? (if you haven't done this already, obviously)
Also, you could try to think about how you feel at the times that you binge and what triggers you.
If its emotional then maybe theres some way you could resolve it (?).
Just some suggestions...
I'm struggling with this too but it's just so much easier to offer others advice then to do it myself... Goodluck with it though :) I hope you feel better soon *hugs*
