Food Addiction and/or BED

[elephunky]

I am doing pretty badly with the food stuff at the moment. Some further research indicates that I could suffer from food addiction (chemical addiction to sugar etc), Binge Eating Disorder or BOTH. I am inclined to believe it is both due to it seemeing to be chemical and psychological or whatever. Had to massive binges since Sunday to the point of feeling really ill. Considered making myself sick last night to get it out.

I know how hard it can be to control ourselves when we eat. I have been dealing with food issues most of my life. Throwing up will only make things worse. I did it for many years and always felt so guilty doing it. I have gotten to the point where I only buy enough food for several days because I can binge on anything I found. You are not alone in your struggle. I am in it, too, and it's so hard much of the time. Praying for you to be guided by Jesus into healing. God bless you.

[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']Doctor was useless and helpful at the same time. She agrees i suffer from both food addiction and binge eating disorder but there isn’t a lot they can really do as they are still trying to understand it but we talked about what works for others. She agrees counselling will help with the binge sessions and trying to prevent them and has given me a referral to go to a dietician as well. [/FONT]
