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...
After falling off the wagon(hard) yesterday..I've decided that once again I have to try harder. So perhaps all the fasting I've been doing...no breakfast or lunch only a small dinner..has left me feeling deprived.. So today Im going to start trying to eat a lunch. This is so hard for me cause once I start eating for the day it usually triggers a binge. If I wait until dinner I feel like I've survived the day and its easier not to over do it at dinner. That sounds so stupid..huh? Well I guess I have to re-train my brain to think healthy..and not weight loss. Does anyone else have this problem?? Or maybe survived this problem....??

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...
I am coming out of 25 years of various food issues - bulimia, compulsive overeating - even periods of restricting. I seem to be doing well right now, though at times it has been hard to eat "normally".
There is a really good book that you should check out - it is called "Overcoming Binge Eating" by Dr. Christopher Fairburn. It has some great tips on normalizing your eating and helping to get you out of that cycle of binging. I found it was really helpful for me!
I did have the same problem at first though - eating more often does open up the opportunity for more binges, but then again, not eating all day until dinner also encourages binges, since I think i was training my body to be afraid of hunger and to expect to go a long time w/o food after my 1 meal/day thing. Not good, that's what started my binging craze I think. I never used to binge before ever in my life before i got into the habit of messing with my eating frequency and not eating a traditional B,L,D.
