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...

Sundays

Sundays are my worst day. Friday and Saturday I have a drink and this takes the edge off and Mon-Fri I'm at work and occupied. I go to my mum's for tea on a Sunday and we generally have a bit of chocolate or a Weight Watchers Dessert or someting 'good'. But since by overeating started up again last August Sundays have been one long food fest. I haven't had the urge today as my jeans are so tight and I feel so fat that I know it's just not an option. What are everyone else's trigger days/times?

hi mel! I know what you mean. the weekends are the worst. those lazy days are really a challenge! I think about food and get cravings all the time but man, those sundays...i could spend an entire days just eating and never feeling full. I fould it helpful to go out and relax a bit, go to the beach and meditate or go for a walk, ride my bike, walk the dog...do whatever it takes to get your mind off food! For those couple of hours you really can focus on something else. This usually does the trick for me. Good luck! :)

Definately the weekends, especially in the evening. I guess it's because I'm missing the structure that I have in my schedule the rest of the week.
Lala had some good ideas - basically anything that keeps me busy and gets me out of the house helps.

Weekends are a killer for me too. If you watched how I am during the week and then how I am on the weekends, you would think you were watching two different people......

I am still trying to get the weekend problem under control...I, too, am sick of feeling gross on Monday and feeling like I am in withdrawal from pigging out all weekend....
