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...
Hmmmm.... Anyone else left out there? A good morning. Ran 2 and 1/8 miles and walked about 8. Had granola bar and coffee for breakfast and a slimfast High protein and ww toast with p-nut butter for lunch. Dinner ??????????
Oh and it is exactly a week from the first of these, lost 2 pounds!! Hope everyone else did as well.

i on the other hand am not doing so well. i did great for the first 4 days, but have really not lived up to the promise i made to myself when i joined this support group, and signed up with the Oct. 1 group. i binged the last two nights and already today.
but since joining this site, i am really trying to focus less on when and how much i eat and really really trying to focus more on the underlying stuff. really trying to keep positive, to be less judgemental and critical of myself. the food isn't the problem. it is the symptom right? it is hard to get beyond the food though. like many others, i have spent so much time and energy thinking about the food, instead of the real issues around my addictions. and as some others have noted in another discussion, feeling bad about ourselves, and being mean to ourselves is a huge part of our addiction. so here i am, trying to think kind and hopeful and positive thoughts, hoping the 'good guys' win.
i hope others are still on track and doing well. congrats Marah and everybody else who is being successful. and to those, like me, that haven't done as well as hoped - hang in there. be as kind and as gentle to yourself as you would be to a friend in a similar situation.
I ran the Tuft 10K in Boston and they had tons of samples out of sports drinks, juices, and power snacks. I like one of everything, but feel it was too much for me in my effort to loose the weight. Ugh. I thought we were weighing in on Wednesday? That's what I'm going to do. I hope I'm down at least a pound.
Finished the day okay. Had a banana for afternoon snack. Had an ear of corn and a baked sweet potato for dinner, with milk.
Really tired tonight. So, other than walking my dog about a mile with my daughter, no real exercise. Oh well. Glad I worked hard this morning.
