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...

How to stop before it's out of control!

I am new to the group. I succumbed to candy today and I am sick about it (not physically, surprisingly)! I had gastric bypass surgery 9 months ago and I followed the "rules" about my diet after surgery for this whole time, and today I ate some candy! I am really beating myself up about it and feel horrible shame and anxiety. I really feel out of control. Help me, please! I really need some support!

Giving out the Halloween candy as I type this, feels a bit cathartic, but I'm still SEVERELY anxious and stressing to the 9's!!!!

the more you beat yourself up over it, the worse it will get. enjoying it now and again isn't the worse thing ever, just make sure it's something you do every 9 months...lol(ok bad joke) my point is that you made one single slip. that does not define you. you have done well for 9 months before that, focus on eating the way you are supose to and let the slip go. You will do fine. good luck and we're here to help and suport you don't forget that.

    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...
