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...

Okay. I'm in culinary school. ANd we made sorbets and ice creams, i now have banana, honeydew, grapefruit, and mango sorbet. And praline ice cream. that's 5 quarts of frozen treats. The sorbet isnt that bad, its mostly just fruit and gelatin. I have to fight every thing to not go crazy and eat a bunch of it. oh Lord or who ever help me!

Wow! Culinary school -- so impressive! But must be a catch-22 for you, too. That's like a sommelier being an alcoholic! Do you have anyone in the program who you think might be in a similar predicament? Someone you can buddy up with and go to when you're having one of these moments? I find that there are more people around us with similar demons than we probably realize.

You sound very self-aware, in that you're watching yourself and being cognizant of what you're doing and thinking. Some people live and move blindly, and they're the ones who really are hard to get through to.

I hope your day ends up going well and that you find strength where you need to. Good luck & God bless!

Do you guys bring home everything that you make or do you guys just leave everything at school? Because if you are at school, you might not eat as much if you were to bring the food home. Or maybe you could give the ice cream to someone else in your class to eat or just throw it out so you don't eat it. I know it sounds easier said than done but I hope it helps.

I delivered for Wonderbread for 3 months. That means looking at HoHO, Suzyques, twinkies. For the first 2 months, I lost 30 lbs, working long hrs., then I notices the sweets as I got overtired. Oh boy, that was bad. I was able to stop that job and go back to driving school bus. It's when I got tired I slipped, and think that is still a trigger.

We have a tasting at the end of class and that's like a bite or two of each dish. but it can sometimes be 13 or 14 dishes, before you know you have a full plate in front of you. I usually bring home some food because i don't have a lot of money since i'm a student right now. It does make it harder to eat healthy since it's mostly French cooking. the foods are pretty wholesome since they are made from scratch, with high quality ingredients. But it can still be so fattening! I'v decided to throw away the icecreams but keep the sorbets since they are only made of fruit, gelatin, egg whites, and water

    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...
