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...
Hi everyone, I recently heard that the problems i am living with is actually a disorder. I thought i was the only one who had this terrible secret. Hoarding food, taking it to my room and secretly eating it. I can do this 3 or 4 times a day.
It started when i was 8 or 9 and i'm now 21. I haven't binged for 2 days now, but i'm hoping it will last even longer if i can come to these discussions and stop myself from going to the fridge!
It took me 2hrs this afternoon to talk myself out of a binge, but i did it and i'm proud. I Have to do something about this, its ruining my life. My weight is climbing by the day. I'm 5ft 7 and now weigh a disgusting 266lbs (19st). I have heard a lot of binge eaters then fast to stop the weight but theres no way i coiuld do that. I'm completely addicted.
Sorry it was a bit long, thanks for reading. I'd love to hear some replies.

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...
You aren't alone.
And you SHOULD be proud on being able to talk yourself out of a binge. :) That's good stuff!
thats so awesome you actually battled for 2 hours and overcame your urge! seriously, that takes a lot and i know that a lot of people, myself during my binge-days included, would not have been able to fight for that long. stay here with us on DS and i'm sure you'll get the strength to overcome this!
but hey, just havign it acknowledged by a professional has made a difference i think, cos you are more aware of it, and you on the way to taking the steps you need to to get better.
i could never understand what was wrong with me, i thought i was just greedy and feel guilty and disgusted, then retaliate by taking drugs or whatever.
it helps with you being more forgiving with yourself too, i think
hope that makes sense
sounds like you are already on your way to getting better
