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...

Hey luvs! I am new and just wanted to say hey.

I am a recovering Bulimic (have been recovering for about 7 months- it's so ridiculous) I don't really even like food that much, I just go on these stupid binges where I end up eating the whole entire kitchen including weird stuff like 1/2 a bottle of ketchup and uncooked rice. I have had binges where I can't even remember most of what I ate. This addiction sucks because unlike alcohol and drug addiction, we can't get away from the problem substance. I mean- we have to eat to live right?

this is true. food is a much more difficult addiction to get over than anything else because you can never get away from it. its in your everyday life. there are times that i binge on food that i dont even really want either. sometimes its like im purposfully trying to make myself sick. i dont even know why i do it. but im here to help you. any time you need to talk i am here. im not bulemic, but i am a binge eater so i can relate sort of. one thing i might suggest is that if you dont like to eat, try doing something that you do enjoy doing to help destract you from the pain you might be feeling. sometimes even going on a walk helps.

I used to be anorexic, then binge eater. I was bulimic also. Oh, what a life.
Now I have very little money for food. Funny how life works.
Right now I am losing weight because I can't afford to buy food.
So here I am depressed with many unpaid bills.
