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...
Hello all,... I am a compulsive overeater and my weakness are sweets. I live with my family,which none of them are heavy,they are trying to gain and me, lose weight..which everyday, I see junk foods for my mom and sisters. My mom hides them..but when my sweet cravings strikes and have money..I go insane and binged on boxes of candies,cakes like no tomorrow...
I did some strong willpower today, which I started over with weight watchers points plan..I said NO and refuse on eating a coconut custard pie, it was a med size slice and I said NO and left it for my disabled sister. It feels great on refusing and not eating!!
This is along journey and learning on saying NO. Half of my day is going good and said NO, since I can't fit into my Fall/Winter coat now. I CAN DO THIS!!!

one tip I found useful that I read was a pause button. If I want something I pause and ask myself why I want it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.
If saying no is working for you then keep at it, you are doing well

When you want to eat, HALT -- stop -- and ask yourself: am I H.ungry A.ngry L.onely or T.ired? Only eat when you're genuinely hungry. If angry, lonely, or tired, do something else!
It's a fun way to say "maybe you can afford the extra calories but I really need to lose weight and that doesn't happen eating things like this."
moderation is key, but wanting to loose the weight quickly makes me want to do an extreme diet, which in the end doesn't work (i no longer have the energy to do a low calorie-2 hours of exercise a day routine)
