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...

Heard a chiropractor speak on health yesterday. My test came back from PCP office and my triglycerides are like 599. Way out of proportion. I can’t take statins or Red rice yeast because I’m allergic to both and I don’t want to die. I’ve been taking fish oil and CoQ10 but it doesn’t do anything for me.

So I’m taking my life back. This chiro in his presentation said we could cure almost all ailments by just eating fruits and veggies. So I’m going to just eat fruits and veggies until my cholesterol gets back to a normal level. After that he said you can eat other things on occasion but first I have to undo all the damage I’ve done to my body for all these years. So I’m excited about this new journey and finally going to be a normal weight and not have to worry about my health everyday.

I eat all day long because I have to for calorie sake but sometimes I think of eating other foods. I can do this! And I will be so happy and healthy.

Ive gotten rid of my migraines so far. Now I need to fix my cholesterol and this pain I have in my side. This pain in my side has been bothering me for a few weeks now so I hope this healthy diet will get rid of it. Perseverance! I’m starting to feel better already.

Tender heart- thank you for your declaration of a new beginning! I am a firm believer that NOTHING that we strive for is ever too late, or out of reach to attain. I believe some of us have to ‘swim to the edge’ (reach our bottom) before we find a way-something within ourselves-and you have done that!!! I applaud your desire and honesty, it is so inspiring, you have no idea what reading your words these last few moments have done for me. I sooooo wish to find a way out of this box with which I have put myself; living like Pavlovian mice, running through the maze (of life) to chase the immediate gratification ( the taste of food) triggering the same response in the reward center of my brain over and over by grabbing for. and devouring, the pellet of food—only to repeat the same action without acknowledging the repercussions of my behavior ( unhealthy, fat and miserable).
Feeling the impowerment behind your words has me determined to pick a new maze with the reward being a set of endless possibilities. I wish you all the best as you take back your control!!!!!!!

Yes no more pain in my side. I feel very weak and tired sometimes from just eating fruits and veggies. I realize I need to take other vitamins and supplements while on this diet /detox. I feel great! Skin is clearing up, I can see my face structure, I think my belly fat is decreasing. I’ve been eating this way for 5 days now and I like the way I look and looking at myself in the mirror to see the change. It’s so exciting! I’m going to look great on my upcoming cruise. And most of all i am excited for the months to come when I can take my blood test again and show the nurse practitioner that I DID IT ! I CAN DO THIS! AND I WILL!

Tenderheart, are you getting enough protein? That can be a challenge on a veggie diet.

TenderHeart599 04/15/2018

No no protein. Unless there are some in veggies.

TenderHeart599 04/15/2018

I read up that some vegetables have protein. Like spinach, kale, asparagus, artichoke hearts, green beans, peas and a few others. So I have definitely been eating stuff off that list.

Hi everybody. I am new to admitting I have an binge eating problem. I need help getting through this. I am really heavy 230 lbs to be exact, but love to exercise. Every-time I try to eat right it last a short time and I just can not stop my self from eating everything in the kitchen. I will obsess over food. I have tried eating health it works for a bit then I stop and get a burger or what ever. I will even eat things I do not like just to eat. It was not always this extreme the eating is controlling everything more and more.

Cantstopeating I can totally relate. I’ve been dieting this week and I totally see how addicted I am to food. When I try to stop eating I almost have to find another addiction which I’ve taken to coffee because it’s so low calorie. I’ve now switched over to a new diet. And when I looked up online I am pretty much following a Keto diet without the knowledge of that diet beforehand. After one week my body is starting to adjust to it. My stomach shrinking from eating smaller meals but I had to persevere thru feelings of hunger. There is a lot of emotions tied to my hunger. Anxiety, socializing, tiredness, etc. Now that I’ve done one week I feel I can do this and conquer the world. I’m finally starting to feel good about my body and it’s changing. I was getting sicker and sicker w different things and could barely exercise due to excess weight. I will stick to yoga and exercise when I lose more weight. I have calculated that I need to continue this diet till Feb 2019 to lose the weight I want and maybe I’ll like my body so much that I’ll stick to it.

I will say that I will allow myself to so called cheat but while keeping it under control. Like two small cookies for one day or small nachos and cheese one day or handful of fries another day. I just keep those things small and one small cheat a day.
