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...
I once heard on a tape or the TV or something that the problem with having a food addiction is that unlike other addictions that you go cold turkey and never touch it again, rather food is like having a monster in the closet that you have to take out for a walk 3 times a day. I liked that analogy. Sometimes it seems like once I start eating in a given day, I can't stop. Such is the challenge of food addiction and compulsive overeating.

This is so true. I saw a report on tv it was like 20/20 or something, with one of the heaviest men. He lost hundreds of pounds and then gained it back again and died. He said the very same thing about food addiction, you can't just stop like somking or drinking. How sucessful would a drinker be at quitting if they HAD to take three small drinks a day? What people don't understand is that just like any other addict once we start we can't stop!

No joke! Problem is, I can't get a leash on the damn thing to take it for a walk. I just open the door and it takes off, wreaking havoc, leaving me shouting "Heel! Sit! Down!" to no avail.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????
