Sleep, I slept late yesterday and I got up early I felt bad all day , angry tired, I felt even less patient than I usually am , I am tired in a way that’s annoying to me. Sometimes I feel that if I didn’t deal with the pain of my bad relationship with food idk what else I would do with myself the boredom bothers me so much, I feel angry at myself just bothered with everything a couple of weeks ago food didn’t taste good for me , the food didn’t change but I was in a bad state and even my biggest comfort become nothing , if food did comfort me I wouldn’t be here most likely I would be happy somewhere, writing as always makes me feel lighter on the inside

I am not doing much writing , I decided to keep a food journal around me all day and for the first time in a very long time I felt way more awake of myself but today was easier than usual less food noise this noise comes at me so strongly most of the time but sometime there is even more noise in me that I don’t her it as much Today there was something else making me feel bad my sleep

i’m definitely a girl who struggles heavily with food thoughts/obsession. it’s so bad that i will just binge after every meal. i think this is because of the ED i had all last year. maybe i’m just trying to restore weight? but i also gained back half of the weight over summer. i just want to stop the food thoughts. i wake up, think about food ill eat later, think about it so much i get hungry. its so annoying that i sometimes even get a migraine, i cant focus during class, when im out with family, work, etc. and when i eat, i will eat a bunch of shit, tell myself that i’ll do better and than do it again. i need tips/advice to get rid of these addiction and thoughts, someone said it’s like ADHD and medicine helps but i prefer if i could get some supplement over amazon or something.

So I went to the gym 30 mins strength workout, I ate good food . And idk mornings are good for me usually and they are also usually better than this but I will need to get back to my routine I think it was the main reason I felt better in the last two months Best of luck everyone I hope that we do well today:)

I care too much , I work harder than anyone in every project , I stress so much about every mistake and grade loss , and then I get depressed and everything becomes not important everything loses value . Going from this point to that all these feelings I never shared or tried handling , food becomes the solution and I get even more stressed about my eating and the cycle gets bigger and it repeats . Today I felt like a failure it’s funny to say this but I wasn’t able to finish an assignment and I felt really embarrassed by it. My sleeping schedule is bad again , I am falling once again and I feel like getting up isn’t really working with me.

I'm writing a book on my experience with binge eating/food addiction.I would also like share other's stories,I would put an anonymous name for everyone like I did for myself.Just summarize your experiences,when you noticed signs and your progression's.Please put it under this post or message me.(Don't feel pressured to share anything you're uncomfortable sharing.)💕

I always thought that I wont get anywhere by just writing but in the past few days every time I wrote I felt better like my sadness and worries are out not within me, it’s very interesting to see the change. I decide a couple of weeks ago that if I want to get anywhere in my life I should delete the apps I am addicted to, so I did and from that time I would say I started I am not doing the right things yet but I started seeing the damage and I started realizing that I am weak in front of the things I am addicted it’s scary to admit but knowing this I will be following the precautions I put for myself. I hope that you all have a good day best of luck!

I’ve found that when I follow a low carb diet, my cravings are significantly diminished. 99% of my trigger foods that make me binge are cut out of my diet with low carb. I definitely don’t do it to the extreme and eat strict keto, but I avoid potatoes, corn, beans, rice, sweets, etc and notice a difference in the “food noise”. Not sure if this would help anyone else but wanted to put it out there just in case :)

I have a sneaking suspicion that I might have a food addiction. I took a medication that had food and shopping cravings/addictions as a side effect and now I always feel like Im an unstoppable force when it comes to cravings. I've been off that medicine for a little while now, but I feel like its still harder for me to ignore my cravings than my friends, so I as wondering if there's any warning signs that I might have a problem closer to an addiction.

Yesterday I felt really bad about myself due to my driving skills, and due to the fact that I messed up in an exam so I came back home at five things all after each other and then I even felt worse about myself, and the feelings stayed with me until I took some time to write and work through the issue, I feel like on days like this I really realize that food is doing nothing to help me the maximum function of food is to give my body energy to go through my day , so I was a reading this book and it said to join a community because that’s the only way to get over the results of being addicted to anything ( here considering that addiction makes me fear intimacy of any sort with people) and the truth is this I never share and I never shared any of the things I am sharing here with anyone but eating hurts me more and I want to reach to a point of healing my relationship with myself and with food and everything because in my life I always got addicted to things at points it was cartoon, dramas, books( the only addiction that actually made me feel better), idk but I forget a lot I lack focus a lot too and I feel messy all the time , like everything about me is a huge mess and it has been this way from the start of my life I feel like this mess is seen when I write but I feel like there must be people out there going through similar things

Hiya there.

I got an idea yesterday when me and my parents paid my maternal aunt and uncle a visit due to polish All Saints' Day. What is this idea is that I could challenge myself to not eat Fast Food this November. I called it No Fast Food November. Because, if some people have a No Nut November, then why can't I have a No Fast Food November, I thought. I hope this month and challenge will help me get un-used to junk food altogether...

Hi all,

I don’t usually make posts like this, but it’s a dire situation. How can I convince a family member to go to the gym without them being defensive? A family member had a near death situation from his weight/stress and it made him motivated to want to lose weight. and now, he’s gained it all back and eats horribly (both quality and portions) and makes excuses not to go the gym even when i try to get him to go with me and have a gym buddy. and will try to find anything to say to throw it back in my face and find something i’m lacking in my own life. i’m scared he’s not going to get that second chance at life again. he’s so smart and my biggest hero. yet i feel he has a food addiction. and it will eat me alive if i don’t try my all i feel like i need to help save him.

any advice helps thanks.

Do little things dat u forget ever come and bite u back? Like leaving milk out at night , thinking u will keep it in the fridge later, next day its spoiled. Or forgetting to twist the cap of bottle , pick it up the whole thing spills. Not filling up the ice tray, thus no iced coffee.

Ders dis nagging happening in the mind like finish the task , but in that split second when I decide later, the backlash is painful. i dunno if Im contemplating life, but dis has happened too many times. I feel im being punished for my procrastination. Im heading towards think before u act, whatever decision is made , stick with it phase.

I've been compulsive overeating for a few months now, specially sweets/sugary foods, and I'm waking up in the middle of the night cover in sweat, like soaked, nearly every night. I had talked to my doctor about it and I've made blood tests, after the results my doctor said that all the sweat is due to overeating. I have health issues due to overeating, like gastritis, reflux and hepatic steatosis, but I never even heard about food causing this sort of issue. Has anyone experienced something like this? Can eating cause night sweat?

Does anyone feel unless they stuff themselves with bowl of veggies , cant help eating sweet things? Have to make sure Im full throughout the day via fibre(fruits , veggies) etc or else cant control my sweet cravings. Have decided to stop carbs alltogether , it just makes me so sleepy , am drowsy and v.unproductive. Did 1 hour workout , lets see what happens dis week. Have to start drinking more water , maybe that may also help with feeling full.

I’ve written here before about how much food addiction impacts me financially. It’s like I literally have severe emotional distress when I can’t engage in eating. I have had a car repoed and have become homeless because I literally spend all of my money on eating and food amd as much as I try to stop I can’t. I watch other people talk about overcoming food addiction and showing how they used to eat and I am always so much worse!! I even talked to my doctor and just pleaded for help because I am gaining so much weight it’s starting to severely impact my quality of life, he just told me to talk to a psych again but I can’t get in anywhere and the NP that prescribes my psych meds can’t do anything. At this point the only solution I can come up with is refraining entirely from eating or taking up a new addiction that lessens my appetite like crack. I know these are’t actual good solutions but I really am at a loss, I need help.

I am 10lbs down this month but I’m at my son’s football game and they have a damn kettle corn truck. That is my favorite snack!!! I’m in physical agony thinking about it.

Have just been binging all week and now feeling completely helpless 😭 I feel like I have no self control when it comes to food and now I’m back up to my heaviest weight I’ve ever been. So upset with myself.

Hey people! I wanted to come on here and share what’s been helping me recently. I came into this community when I was really struggling with food. I thought I had a “food addiction” but I no longer think that’s the case. I don’t want to dismiss what anyone else thinks what their relationship with food is, so that’s all I’m going to say. If any of you struggle with binge eating (like I did) I would like to share this account that has been helping me. There’s this YouTuber called @TheBingeEatingTherapist who has gave me so much insight as to what I might’ve been going through. She has a podcast with another YouTuber that I find extremely helpful @lifeafterdietspodcast4229 . I encourage some of you to check them out. I hope this helps some of you! Remember what you are going through is not your fault. Have a good one!

I feel like these posts are becoming a more regular occurrence.. eek. Back from a weekend away and I ate a disgusting amount. I'm surprised I haven't been sick. I don't know what it is but in a social setting of there's temptation around and I know there's a chance my eating won't be 100% I just say screw it and go crazy. I know I just have to keep moving foward and be kind to myself yadayada but god damn this behaviour is frustrating.

Yeah things r bad even I'm crying today. Usually by doom scrolling I delude or prevent myself from thinking. Time passes by fast when ur online. Internet instead of leisure, has become shackles, bingeing isnt joyful thing, just makes me feel empty.

I start exercising , do it for one day and then dont do it at same time next day. Thus dat one day gap turns to week, I give up.

If im exercising at 4pm today , i should be responsible enough to workout at same time tomorrow. But I procrastinate, instead of , working out imnediately at 4pm. When ur inconsistent , flexibility is not an option need to be very rigid.

Its only after 20 mins of exercise body starts losing fat, so i need to at do 45 to 60 mins workout everyday , but im not even moving around nowadays. Plus ik having a gap of more than 48hrs between each session means i will need to increase the intensity of next workout, yet I just dont want to exert myself whether its exercise, studies or even for my own life.

My whole life is just revolving around food and weight.Why have have I become restricted to it? It has encroached on my hobbies ,fun, work , time, everything.

When v were kids , v had a proper routine, but as an adult I live aimlessly. Every night as i fall asleep , y dont I have things to look forward to the next day. I have sleep anxiety , even though mentally in dumps I'm not physically exhaused I cant sleep, I'm awake the whole night, sleep at dawn for few hours , get up tired and lethargic. Cant concentrate ,need coffee , get dehydrated, again cant sleep the same thing repeats. Even with proper goal , I just dont work hard enough for it.Isnt it sad and pathetic.

Living a balanced life is lots of work, u need a budget before buying groceries, some research needs to be done for what works for ur body, planning ahead, meal prep including finding recipies. If I only eat what I meticulously bought calorie restriction is done.

After every meal walking for 15-20mins. Having light dinner 2hrs before bedtime, no cellphone or laptop in bed. Drinking enough water. No Coffee after 4pm. Getting enough sleep, sleeping at same time everyday No lying in bed in morning, brush my teeth , drink warm water , clear my bowels, go for walk , have breakfast, start the day.

I’ve been fighting food addiction my entire life. I’ve always been overweight. Dieting/lifestyle changes/etc…always the same song & dance. Did good the last few days with just making healthier choices, eating a wide variety of food groups with every meal. Today I feel kind of blue (I have chronic depression) & went right for that quick fix of dopamine that food gives me and now it’s all down the drain again. I’ve tried meds, counseling, every diet known to man kind. I guess this is just my life.

12 step program for food.

Doctor thinks I am bit underweight. She couldn’t find reasons for my extreme fatigue after a bunch cardio tests. My BMI is 19.6 so still above the 18.5 cut off line.

I had to lie down immediately after every meal, my blood pressure are around 90/50 mostly. I got hypotension. Getting checked out for autoimmune and genetic diseases.

I feel SOOO tired all the time I can’t function.

She thinks I am not getting enough calories. She gave me orders to add a little food. In LETTER.

My sponsor said only sponsor & God can decide my food & weight. No need to listen to doctor. “They always want you eat more or take meds.”

What do I do?

I am in the most strict 12 step food program. I like the close supervision to curb my impulsivity in all areas. But the control and conformity in food & weight is frustrating!

I like to gain a little weight so I can have the energy to do physical therapy or lift weights to gain some muscles.

I am not anorexia. Definitely not bulimia. I lost 50LB in this program.

I just think the “right sized body” might be bit too low for me. I don’t care to be super skinny. I feel weak and woozy when I am too skinny.

Hello, I'm looking for any non-ozempic suggestions for combatting food noise. I've seen some improvement in the past when I've stuck to high protein low carb diets, but I'm looking for more ways to switch the constant compulsive food thoughts off. I had actually made massive improvements before and had lost about 45lb and ended up getting stuck at this weight for a bit due to work and life stressors. I would really like to get this sorted without having to drop a bunch of money on injectables, especially since I'm already halfway there. Has anyone had anything work for them?

Food addiction caused me to have progressive polyneuropathy so I have extensive nerve damage all over along with hypothyroidism which causes me to be cold to touch. I haven't been able to be intimate because of it. At one point I was eating to go blind as my eyes were blood shot and I could barely keep them open due to the excessive consumption of processed foods. I started wearing prescription glasses because of it and I had good eyesight before that. I can no longer eat anymore due to the toxic foods destroying my esophagus and stomach. I have to live on liquids for the rest of my life and I have Dysphagia, Odynophagia,GERD, Silent Reflux, Erosive Gastritis,Edema of the larynx. I have lost almost 60 lbs and I'll probably end up losing more weight.

Hell is being unable to stop doing something that hurts. Eating was like that for me. It was a nightmare. I don't know that I could have stopped without being open to some sort of magic (higher force). I had no idea how I would stop or if it would happen - but I didn't feel like I many other options so I made a choice to ask the unknowable and incomprehendible higher force for help. Some people call the higher force love - I think that is as good a word as any to describe it. My need to eat compulsively came from not being able to access higher channels of love for my self and/or others. I was living in lower channels of loneliness, guilt, and judgement. To break down the walls of fear, shame, jealousy and anger was quite a journey but it started with believing that I am not broken, there is place within me that can eat in a balanced way. Question was - how do I access that place? Well that is what all spiritual principles teach. The 12 steps, buddhists, christians etc. All of them teach that thinking our way there won't work. It needs to be action - action in the face of doubt and uncertainty. Love is there all the time but to access it we have to face onto our fears to dissolve them rather than run away, and trust that by facing into them we'll discover what has been there all the time - a new level of freedom.

I don't enjoy food much anymore, I know I won't enjoy it, I know I'll hate myself for it but there's something in my head that forces me to eat. (force is a strong word but it feels correct I don't feel I've a choice in the matter). I'll do great for a few weeks and really feel happy about myself but then it just falls back to the standard. It feels helpless.
