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 just wanted to pop in and say hello, and have a little sound off if that is ok.
I'm so fed up today. I dont know why. I'm sitting at my desk just trying to concentrate on the work i have to do today, but i just cant.
I'm thinking about going to see my GP to discuss my food addiction and issues, but i'm just so worried. I'm petrified that i'll be laughed out of the room or that i will be seen as some kind of freak. I suppose it's the fear of the unexpected/unknown that worries me more than anything. I just wish i could switch this off. What is it my head that makes me feel this way! And why??
I'm sorry everyone. I just cant shut down today, i feel like im a robot just acting the way people expect me to, but underneath it all i'm screaming.
Sorry!! xx

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 think you are awesome and brave for going to your doctor with this issue. Some people are never brave enough to go and get help - that first step is so essential to take and you are doing it........YAY FOR YOU!!
As far as being laughed out of his office, don't be worried about that - this problem is way more common than you think and likely you are not the first person to have gone to your doctor with this - sadly, he's probably heard it all before.
Hold your head up high!!! You are doing a wonderful thing!!!! Let me know how it goes.
Good luck,please let us know how it goes.
GF your feelings are your feeling and you have every right to have them, feel them and express them...Our dis-ease is one that is soooo very complex. Yet it is how we are wired. We can't switch the switch "off" on our own. We can't live on an island. If u feel comfortable with your doctor...talk to him or her honestly tell them what you think and how you feel. However, just know that with a little support and a lot of hard work on your part you can feel and behave better...It is my experience that COEing was a symptom rather than the problem. Admitting that the behavior and thought patterns are an issue is the first step, next you have to be willing to do something about it...evenwhen it is not easy and then you pick a food plan that you can live with one day at a time and move forward from there...This is what had to happen for me....Lady..you are so not alone!!! Many of us have been right were you are...Yea for expressing those feelings...Keep expressing...

With respect,
