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...

why? and what?

Its interesting, if we know what foods are better for us, why do we gravitate towards the foods that are not healthy for us to eat? And in large portions too? I have no one else to blame for my weight than myself... I mean no one forces me to eat but myself and life's circumstances should never be an excuse for over eating but frequently it is... I find myself still saying "I dont want too cook after a bad day lets just order pizza".. now hey if I am having a super bad day the last thing I feel like doing is cooking, but what are some better alternatives than ordering pizza or Chinese?

Make a sandwich using brown bread, slices of chicken breast from the grocery store, and low-fat mozerella cheese. Then have fruit for dessert?

Thing is that even though a healthier alternative is present and you can make your stomach feel "full" by eating it, my case at least means that I still feel "hungry" (even though I'm no longer hungry) for something else, something sweet, fattening, not-so-good for me. I try to eat the healthy stuff first and sometimes it works, best thing to do is give it a shot?

Subway has some really good low fat sandwiches. Also, don't know if you live near any, but Panera bread has low cal soups and really good whole grain bread.

SUBWAY!!!!!!!! My Hubbie and I have lost weight by letting a six inch subway the only fast food we eat. One of the lower cal ones of course. No mayo. Just mustard and lots of veggies. No coke or chips of course.

I make dinners in bulk and freeze them and hey presto; a healthy ready meal!

If we order out and I am leaning towards healthy I will get a veggie sub, no mayo with cheddar cheese. Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sprouts, carrots-yummy oh yeah peppers. The roll will be whole wheat

    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...
