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...

Does anyone follow IE method? Focusing on eating when hungry and stop when full, not stuffed. I used to own 2 self help books regarding this method and am finally making peace with food and eat when am hungry and no dieting stuff. I am avoiding the scale and learning to love myself and not bringing my mindset into the dieting game land of horror...

I hope others will follow... Take Care (((((Hugs)))))))

Yes, I also have books on this and am doing this but not always successfully but find its helpful to listen to my body more and feel better when I wait until hungry to eat

Liliann, this way of eating makes a lot of sense. I think I will give it a try, although I have been doing this for a while.

If I restrict, I think more about food, and then I binge, which then I feel awful.

Listening to our body makes a lot of sense. Eat when hungry, with normal portions, a variety of foods; then we won't feel deprived.....

Hi Liliann I
can completely connect to what you're talking about. I have been to several eating disorder treatments and the intuitive eating is what they preach and the more I learn and the more effort i put in it actually works. What has probably been most helpful for me is giving myself full permission to eat anything! Anything. I am so used to outing restrictions on myself even if I let myself have a donut if I tell myself I can only have one and then I have to eat 'healthy' the rest of the day it in turn might have lead to a binge so full permission with no rules had been what works for me :) Do you have the book Intuitive Eating? It has been SO helpful to me seriously..I am happy to hear that you are doing well with it I am also getting to a place where I can feel my hunger and fullness signals and its such a great feeling..keep me updated on how you are doing :) thanks take care
