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...
not sure if any of you would have an answer for me, but i figured this was the right place to ask.
what's the difference between food addiction, compulsive overeating, and binge eating disorder?
when god first brought this to my attention, "food addiction" was the term that kept coming up in all my research and prayer. i looked it up and i have all the signs.
i got into my first oa meeting on oct. 6th. that was the first time i heard "compulsive overeating". i could also fall into that catagory.
and within the last couple of days, i've been hearing "binge eating disorder" here. again, i have a lot of the signs.
so is it all the same? if not, how is it different? please help...i'm really confused.

True Addictions of any kind actually have chemical changes in the brain in response to the offending substance and a withdrawal when deprived.
Compulsion is a purely psychological dependence not a physical one.
Binge eating is cyclical and can last for hours or days and can have its base in addiction or compulsion or both.
You may fall into one two or all three categories they are not exclusive.
i dont care wat its called i want to be free of it, im sick of feeling constantly ill, and worrying im going to have a heart attack.
