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 everyone,
I was just wondering what other peoples binging episodes are like? Over how long do you binge? How do you turn it around?
I tend to go 2-3 months binging and pile aloy of weight on, then get so depressed I go the other way and practically do not eat and exercise loads until I get really slim again. I then keep the weight off for 2-3 months then all of a sudden I'm binging again. Its such a vicious cycle. It makes me wonder if I will ever be normal.
I'm going through a real bad patch at the mo, as I am in my fat phase and its really getting to me but I just cant stop eating! Oh, and dont you hate ot when people say try harder or use your will power. If only it were that simple! I hate pople who don't understand!

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 had 3 children in 4 years and it changed my body. I now have people ask me if I'm pregnant or when I'm due. Having the 3 children in 4 years was a nice convenient excuse for awhile, but my youngest is 4 and it's getting old.
I pray we all get better soon !!!!

The cycle is so familiar and so repetitively painful. I am sick of it, but haven't maintained my commitment to interrupting the cravings and emotions. Which, of course, in turn, brings back the feelings of shame and disgust that get the cycle going in the first place.
I participated in OA a couple of years ago and I continually remember the stool having 3 legs: emotional, physical, spiritual. If they aren't all equally strong, one falls over. The physical is cool, but the other two need some work.
It is unstructured time that is my nemesis at present. i don't know what to do with myself and become anxious and start eating. On my days off, I must find something or someone with whom I can occupy time. When I am busy, I am fulfilled. I also recognize that the time is an opportunity to reconnect with my higher power or just my inner voice.
My actions of late are not self-defining. I don't feel good about my choices that lead me to feel poorly, but it doesn't mean I am a bad person. I must forgive myself and move on.
